Yamaha and Honda will take to the track together at this weekend’s Motocross of Nations in Ernee, France, for an EV Motocross Demo, Infront Moto Racing has confirmed.
Per the release, the two brands will run side by side on Saturday and again on Sunday, both days at 12:45.
Yamaha Motor will display the YE-01 Racing Concept which was first shown at EICMA in Milan last year. It will be ridden by 2004 MX2 World Champion and 2007 AMA Supercross 250SX East Region Champion Ben Townley, and 2011 MX3 World Championship runner-up and three-time Enduropale du Touquet winner Milko Potisek.
The YE-01 Racing Concept is Yamaha’s fun-first approach to carbon neutrality. It pairs YZ450F chassis technology, built on decades of racing know-how, with Electric Motion’s power unit.
Honda will bring the CR ELECTRIC PROTO, ridden by Trey Canard and Justin Brayton. Canard was Honda’s first rider to compete in an electric motocross race in 2023 in All Japan Motocross Championship.
The CR ELECTRIC PROTO has already proven itself in competition: it raced in the 2024 FIM E-Xplorer World Cup with Team HRC. In Honda’s first season in the series, the team won the Men’s Championship and finished second in both the Women’s Championship and the Team Championship.
