HEP Suzuki Announces 2025 Monster Energy Supercross Team

Suzuki and Pipes Motorsports Group have announced their 2025 Monster Energy Supercross lineup and it will be a 450-only team for the new year.

Leading the charge for the Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki team will be veteran Ken Roczen. Fresh off the FIM World Supercross Championship, Roczen enters the new year with some gate drops under his belt.

“I am very excited to continue my relationship with Suzuki and the team,” said Roczen. “We have had a pretty successful last couple of years, and we are eager to continue chasing our dreams of wins and podiums.” 

Roczen missed the last few rounds of the 2024 Supercross season after his violent crash in Nashville, but still finished the season 7th in points. He returned for the SuperMotocross Playoffs where he ended the season 6th in points. 

A new addition to the team for the 2025 season will be Colt Nichols. After parting ways with Factory Beta after just a half a season, Nichols joined Pipes Motorsports for the SuperMotocross Playoffs and the FIM World Supercross Championship and will continue with the team in 2025. 

“Really excited to be a part of the Twisted Tea HEP Suzuki team for a full season of racing in 2025,” said Nichols. “It was awesome getting to race SMX and WSX for the team and get a few races under my belt before tackling a full season. I’m ecstatic to keep the ball rolling.”

Returning for his 20th, yes 20th, Supercross season will be Kyle Chisholm. Chiz continues to Chiz for a third year with the squad. 

“I’m excited to go into year three with the Twisted Tea HEP Suzuki Team.” said Chisholm. “I’m also looking forward to continuing helping the team build their program and be better year over year. This is my 20th year racing SX and I’m ready to have some fun and enjoy it again.”

Dustin Pipes continues to lead Pipes Motorsports Group with a clear vision and unwavering commitment to building a championship-caliber program.

“Excited to kick off another season with a team that I am proud to have this season,” said Pipes. “Ken has the talent to do something spectacular every time he throws his leg over a motorcycle. Colt has had a great offseason and anytime you have a former champion on the team the expectations are high. Chisholm has been an integral part of the team and is going on his third consecutive year.”

With multiple championships to his name, Larry Brooks brings years of experience and strategic leadership to the team. Brooks’ ability to align rider strengths with bike performance has been instrumental in preparing for the 2025 season.

“The team has had a very productive offseason, and I feel we have made improvements to our motorcycle going into the 2025 season,” said Brooks. “We closed out World Supercross with a win in Abu Dhabi and we plan to keep that momentum rolling in the 2025 season.”
