Off-road racing is all Max Hutchesson has ever known, and that is why barrelling through bushland on a sidecar is where he is most comfortable.

Since they were kids Max and his brother Sam have been ripping it up through paddocks and testing their physical and mental limits in unpredictable terrain. They were teenagers when they took part in their first 24-hour enduro, an event they have now completed 16 times and have enjoyed many podium finishes along the way. They have even checked out the enduro scene over in Wales in 2025.

Having built a strong relationship with Gavin Porteos, who prepares their off-road sidecars, they were inspired to give road racing a go in more recent years. The team debuted an F1 short bike they have been building at Philip Island in January of 2026 and are looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for them.
