Fantic USA Announce Hard Enduro and Endurocross Racing Team
​Fantics will race in Hard Enduro finally as Fantic Motor USA, in partnership with Hi-Tech Motorsports, announces a Hard Enduro and Endurocross team for the 2025 and 2026 race seasons.
The question why anyone isn’t racing Fantics in Hard Enduro has finally been answered by the Fantic Motor USA Hard Enduro and Endurocross team.
The newly formed team will be led by respected race manager, and Hi-Tech Motorsports owner, Shawn Widdicombe with two upcoming American racers: 17-year-old Braxton Hintze competing in the Pro class and 15-year-old Kael Widdicombe racing in the Junior class.
First time out this weekend at TKO
Their campaign gets underway this coming weekend at the 2025 Tennessee Knockout with both riders campaigning the 2025 Fantic XE300 two stroke model. The team will make its official debut at TKO and then focus on the full Endurocross series.

Shawn Widdicombe, Team Owner and Manager: “We’re excited to get the Fantic brand back into racing here in the US with two young and talented riders. Braxton and Kael both bring strong work ethic and focus to the team. We’re looking forward to helping them develop and compete at a high level throughout the Hard Enduro and Endurocross seasons. We believe in the potential of these riders and the performance of the XE300 platform.”​
​Mark Berg, Fantic Motor USA:​ “Hi-Tech Motorsports is an amazing dealership in Montana with a huge offroad following all due to Shawn Widdecombe and his team! We couldn't be happier to have chosen his dealership to manage our Fantic Hard Enduro team for 2025 and 2026!”
