The new home of professional motocross racing in the nation, Motorcycling Australia (MA) have successfully delivered and promoted the new era of the popular racing series – now known as ProMX – since the original Australian Motocross Championship underwent a rebrand in 2021.

As the premier motocross championship in the nation, the ProMX Championship heritage dates back to the glory days of the sport with the Mr Motocross series in the 1980’s and legendary riders such as Craig Dack, Stephen Gall and Jeff Leisk.

With the new lease of life on the series, we aim to shine a light on Australian talent within the series and help propel the riders, teams, stakeholders and partners to a new level.

The ProMX Championship has a long-standing reputation as one of the leading domestic championships in the world. Known for attracting international riders and media coverage to a global audience, the series also acts as a successful development platform for young Australian talent to land in an international series with a strong contingent of Australian riders currently competing (and landing on the podium) in the MXGP and AMA Motocross series.

ProMX is designed as a tiered system featuring four racing classes:

• MX1 – The elite category of the championship, this class sees many factory-backed teams field the nation’s elite athletes against visiting international competition on state of the art 175cc to 300cc two-stroke and 290cc & over four-stroke machines.
• MX2 – The professional level classes begin at MX2 where riders at 15 years of age can enter the pro ranks, competing on 100cc to 150cc two-stroke & 175cc to 250cc four-stroke motorcycles.
• MX3 – Targeted towards riders aged 14 to 18, MX3 provides an environment where juniors can safely graduate into the senior ranks with unique options for riders with exceptional talent and speed to then graduate early into the MX2 category, more in line with FIM international age groupings. Motorcycles permitted for this class are 122cc to 150cc two-stroke and 250cc four-stroke machines.
• MXW – The dedicated women’s class of the championship, MXW is the breeding ground of talented and successful female motocross riders, where those with outstanding talent are provided with opportunities to compete overseas. Like MX3, the permitted power units in this class are 122cc to 150cc two-stroke and 250cc four-stroke motorcycles.
