Suzuki Seek Potential Replacement For Ken Roczen Out Of 2025 Supercross Team Which Earlier Featured Roczen With Colt Nichols And Kyle Chisholm

Suzuki’s Twisted Tea H.E.P. Motorsports team is exploring options to replace Ken Roczen, who was a cornerstone of their 2024 Supercross lineup. Roczen, alongside Colt Nichols and Kyle Chisholm, brought a mix of experience and competitive edge to the team. However, with Roczen’s future uncertain, Suzuki is evaluating talent to fill the void and maintain its competitive standing in the 2025 season.

Colt Nichols, who joined the team in 2024 and delivered standout performances during the SMX events, is emerging as a strong contender for leadership within the squad. After a highly productive offseason working closely with team manager Larry Brooks, Nichols is poised for a breakout year.

“Really excited to be a part of the Twisted Tea H.E.P. Suzuki team for a full season of racing in 2025,” said Nichols. “It was awesome getting to race SMX and WSX for the team and get a few races under my belt before tackling a full season. I’m ecstatic to keep the ball rolling.”

Nichols’ focus and determination, combined with his growing synergy with the team, make him a promising asset for Suzuki’s future. Alongside him, Kyle Chisholm, a seasoned veteran renowned for his technical expertise, will continue to play a pivotal role. Chisholm’s contributions to bike development ensure that the RM-Z450 remains a competitive machine for the grueling challenges of Supercross.

As Suzuki navigates the challenge of replacing Roczen, the team’s confidence in Nichols and Chisholm is evident. Their blend of youthful ambition and veteran insight positions the Twisted Tea H.E.P. Suzuki team as a strong contender in 2025. Whether through nurturing existing talent or onboarding a new star, Suzuki remains committed to maintaining its status as a force in the Supercross world.
