Fresh out of its 80th year designing and manufacturing racing pistons, Wiseco’s experience in designing, developing and manufacturing USA-made performance is a powerful complement to Team Honda HRC’s elite legacy in Supercross and Motocross racing. Wiseco will continue to work closely with the team on piston-and-engine package research and development services as the 2022 Honda CRF450R platform continues to be proven on the track.

“This is my first year as Team Manager for the Honda HRC team,” noted Lars Lindstrom, referring to his new role with Honda HRC. “Knowing that we have a trusted partner providing us with a high-quality, high-performance product like Wiseco does, eases my mind and gives me one less thing to worry about during this new and sometimes stressful position. High performance and reliability are a difficult combination to accomplish. Luckily, we have all of those with Wiseco.”
Lars Lindstrom is a veteran of the Supercross and Motocross racing industries, and we’re looking forward to working with him and the rest of the HRC team through a great year of racing.

With podium position finishes in both the 2021 Supercross and Pro Motocross Championships for Roczen, and a total of nine podium race finishes throughout 2021 for Sexton, the pair are lining up for Anaheim motivated and determined.
