In 2010 Eli Tomac burst onto the scene when he became the
first rider in history to win his professional debut, eventually
finishing sixth in his rookie season of AMA Pro Motocross
competition. Just two years later in 2012 he established himself
as a true star of the future by winning the Monster Energy
Supercross 250SX West Championship, his first career professional
title. Tomac’s ascension to the top of the division culminated with
the 2013 AMA Pro Motocross 250 Class Championship before
making his move to the 450cc ranks in 2014. He claimed his first
career 450 Class win in the summer of 2014 and carried that
momentum into 2015, grabbing a pair of 450SX Class wins in
Supercross and a trio of overall victories in Pro Motocross.
He enters 2016 as one of the sport’s most promising young
riders and is a favorite to contend for each respective
championship during his inaugural season with Monster
Energy Kawasaki

Will Hahn’s years of experience paid off in a big way in 2013
when he achieved his dream of becoming a champion, claiming
the Monster Energy Supercross 250SX East crown on the heels of
consistency that led him to podium finishes in every race and
back-to-back wins in Atlanta and St. Louis. He made the move to
450cc competition the following season and showed promise
within the exceptional depth of talent in the premier division.
With a career-best 4th-place finish under his belt during his
rookie campaign, Hahn joined Monster Energy Kawasaki in 2015
and posted a pair of top-10 finishes in AMA Pro Motocross and is
looking to build on his first year with the team to capitalize on
the potential he’s shown since moving into the 450 ranks.

Tyler Bowers’ path to stardom puts him in a class of his own.
Arguably the most dominant AMA Arenacross competitor of
the modern era with four consecutive titles and 72 race wins,
he is the only rider in the history of the sport to win a Main
Event in both Arenacross and Monster Energy Supercross in
the same season, doing so in 2013 when he debuted with
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki as a fill-in rider.
Bowers joined the prestigious effort full time in 2015 and
was a stalwart at the front of the 250SX field, garnering
three podium finishes. With the most racing experience at
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki, Bowers hopes to add
to his illustrious career as the first ever Arenacross and
Supercross titleholder.
