It has plenty of experience supporting racing at the highest levels and now Hampshire-based bike protection firm R&G Racing, is helping out at a more grassroots level, with backing for the US-based Build Train Race series (BTR). BTR is a Royal Enfield project that supports women in two race series: one dirt flat track and one road racing, with riders on custom race-prepared International 650 and Continental GT 650 twins.
This year will be the fifth season of the BTR program, and UK-based R&G is sponsoring the entire series this year. The new partnership means that each competitor will receive a host of crash protection for their machine, including engine case covers, cotton reels, exhaust protectors, fork protectors, brake lever guards, toe guards, and tank traction grips. These will help riders get the most out of their bikes on track and keep them protected in a spill.
Simon Hughes, MD at R&G, added, “It’s been fantastic watching the Build Train Race initiative grow over the last few years and develop a truly inspiring community of female racers. We are really proud to be joining them on their journey for the 2024 season, and we can’t wait to see how this year’s competitors get on!”
