APOLLINO, the pioneering brand in off-road motorcycles, continues to push the boundaries of the sport by bringing together seasoned champions and rising stars.
In a recent event, we were honored to have MXGP 250cc champion Bolley Frederic share his expertise with the APOLLINO team, offering exclusive insights into professional off-road riding techniques.
In a bold move that highlights APOLLINO’s dedication to nurturing young talent, APOLLINO has signed 6-year-old off-road prodigy Nathan Zhang (KenKen). Despite his tender age, KenKen has already amassed an impressive array of achievements. His journey began in 2021 with a second-place finish in the Strider Cup USA Youth Balance Bike Championship. Since then, he has continued to excel, claiming victories in various competitions including the 2022 Florida Station of the USA BMX Stacyc World Championship qualifiers and US AMA National Enduro E-Sports Champion.
KenKen’s transition to motorcycle racing in 2023 marked a significant milestone. Competing in the AMA GNCC series, he finished third overall in his debut year, becoming the first ethnic Chinese rider to enter the AMA GNCC Champions’ Night. His success continued into 2024, with eight podium finishes in eight AMA GNCC races, securing another third place in the annual rankings.
APOLLINO’s strategy of bringing together experienced champions like Frederic and nurturing young talents like KenKen exemplifies its role as a pioneer in off-road electric motorcycling. By bridging generations of riders, APOLLINO is promoting the development of off-road motorcycle sports and actively cultivating the next generation of riders.
As APOLLINO and KenKen embark on this exciting journey together, we are set to face new challenges, push boundaries on the track, and inspire a new era of off-road racing excellence.
