Bickers has confirmed its continued support of team SC Sporthomes for the 2024 season. With six top-class riders in the fold this year, the potential for continued success is high.

All the team members bring a fine mix of success and experience to the 2024 campaign, which includes the Scottish MX Championship, Arenacross, the Nora92 Pro MX Championship, the Dirt Store British MX Championship and selected AMA rounds in the USA.

The team is headed-up by two established riders in Elliot Banks-Browne, (two times British MX Champion, and 3rd in 2023), and Charlie Putnam, (Arenacross star rider), who are already very familiar with the MAXXIS tyres, RK Chain, Ferodo and Motorex products supplied by Bickers. New team members John Adamson, (current Scottish MX Champion), Tristan Purdon, (seven times South African MX Champion), Syd Putnam, (this will be his rookie season in the Pro class), and last but not least Charlie Heyman, (2022 Youth 125 Champion) complete the squad for the 2024 season.

SC Sportshomes Husqvarna will use MAXXIS Maxxcross MX-ST+ rears and fronts, and MX-SM rears, MOTOREX oil, lubricants and care products, RK Chain’s GB520MXZ5 and  Ferodo brake pads featuring specialised sintered racing off-road compounds.

Neil Prince, Team Manager., SC Sportshomes Husqvarna  explained: “It's great to be working with Bickers again for the 2024 season. We choose Bickers because the company continues to impress us with its tier-one brands that have given us consistently excellent performance across recent seasons. The MAXXIS MX-ST+ inters and MX-SM sand are honestly amazing; whether it's wet or dry, they take seconds off laps compared to other brands. RK’s MXZ5 is the best-performing chain we’ve ever used, and its longevity is exceptional' The improvement in RK's technology over the years is really showing! Ferodo sintered pads give excellent performance from start to finish, even in the worst conditions. And we are always happy to be associated with Motorex. The Swiss range of lubricants and care products are pure quality and make machines perform to the maximum and shine like they’re just out of the shop. Its a remarkable range of products!”

Derek McMartin from Bickers added : “Bickers has supported SC Sportshomes for many years and we have shared great success together. I’m thrilled to be working with Neil and the team again for 2024 and I have no doubt there will be plenty of podiums across the season from all the lads and wish them the best of luck, although I doubt they’ll need it!”
