Pit Tour Presented Matrix Concepts Canada- Dylan Wright’s Honda Canada/GDR/Fox Racing CRF450R

Round 2 of the Triple Crown Series was unique as the local landscape of the Whispering Pines track produced some great photos. Also, with the opening round being more of a SX environment, Round 2 was the season’s first real outdoor national setting. All of the teams in Canada go to great lengths to make sure their bikes look absolutely stunning as they sit under the tents. In fact, for some people walking through the pits and looking at the shiny race bikes is almost as good as watching the races. Thanks to Matrix Concepts Canada and our photographer James Lissimore, we will give you a behind-the-scenes look at the 2023 Triple Crown Series factory bikes each week. This week we go in-depth with Dylan Wright’s factory Honda Canada/GDR/Fox Racing CRF450R. Although Dylan’s bike is extremely cool with a few parts that the public cannot buy, most of the bike is made of items you could buy if you wanted. As you would expect, Dylan’s bike is set up specifically for him and results from many hours of testing.

At each race this summer Dylan’s bike will sit on this cool new stand from Matrix Concepts Canada.
