Australasian Dirt Bike — June 2017

THE RIDER
DANIEL SANDERS
As soon as I found out I was
riding the 250 [in the Enduro
2 world championship], I
stopped riding the 300. I
wanted to adapt to the power
of the smaller bike. Everything
else was the same, so it
worked out easy for me. I miss
the extra bottom-end of the
300 but I’ll be back on one for
the ISDE.

CHUCKY’S

FRESH SEED

I like how I can change the

power delivery with the map

switch and also play around

with the power-valve springs. I

also like how it’s pretty close

to stock. That means I can

jump on any bike in the world

and still feel good.

This year will be a year for

developing the lifestyle, bikes,

team racing etc.

But I do want to win some

races and try and win the

championship. I won’t be

competing in the A4DE

because it clashes [with a

world round], but I’ve got a

couple of Australian races I

want to do.

If there is one race I could

come back and do it would be

Hattah. I want to beat Tye by

13 seconds this year, ha ha!

It’s one of my favourite races.

It’s physically demanding and

has a great atmosphere.

THE MECHANICALS

I’m using 999 Renthal

handlebars, as I had to give up

my trusty Flexx ’bars due to

sponsorship commitments. It

has a five-speed gearbox,

ribbed seatcover, Akro’

exhaust, factory Brembo

calipers, a bigger front master

cylinder for a stronger feel, a

solid rear disc for bulk

lock-ups, a 52mm fork and a

WP Trax shock.
