The Muc-Off FXR ClubMX team has silenced the rumour mill by reaffirming its commitment to Yamaha with a strategic two-year contract extension. This decision comes amid whispers of potential talks with other manufacturers, such as KTM, signalling a robust confidence in the Yamaha partnership for the foreseeable future.
ClubMX and Yamaha have not just continued their partnership but have done so with a sense of humour and grace. The team cheekily addressed the KTM rumours in a social media post.
The press release from Team Muc-Off/FXR ClubMX underlined the mutual benefits of the partnership. Yamaha provides a competitive edge with its top-notch race bike, considered the best platform in the sport. Brandon Haas, the team owner, expressed high expectations for the upcoming seasons, citing significant improvements to the bike and a track record of impressive performances, including podium finishes and fastest qualifying sessions.

This strategic location allows ClubMX to customise their bikes to near-factory level, a luxury that sets them apart from other privateer teams.
Beyond the race track, the partnership has marketing muscle, with ClubMX's extensive social media presence and popular YouTube series helping to drive Yamaha's sales and promote the bLU cRU program.
