With the X- Games just around the corner in Minneapolis, USA, Kenda are delighted to announce multiple gold medal winner Jackson ‘Jacko’ Strong to the brand!

Jacko lives in Australia, but has traveled around the world to compete from a young age, and at the X Games he is remembered for nailing the first front flip on a dirt bike during the best trick competition:

He will be competing in Moto X and Best Trick at this year’s X Games in the USA, China and his home country of Australia. Jacko will also be competing in Snow Bike Best Trick at the Winter X Games in Aspen Colorado.

In addition to his busy X Games schedule, Jacko will be hitting the ramps on his Kenda tires at the Crusty Demons of Dirt Tour in fall 2019 and hosting two TV shows on “The World of X” on ABC Sports in the fall and winter.

“We at Kenda are excited to be jumping into the Freestyle arena with such an awesome athlete. Everyone here at Kenda is a big fan of anything on 2 or 4 wheels, so we are stoked to have such a Champion competing on Kenda tires” stated Jason Baldwin, Kenda’s Director of Powersports in the US.

Jacko will be riding on the Kenda Triple, a tyre which is specifically designed to give optimal traction on metal freestyle ramps. Although there are no plans to bring this tyre to the UK market at this time, exclusive importer Cambrian Tyres feel that this announcement is still an excellent endorsement of the quality and performance of Kenda motocross products, many of which recently became available here in Britain.
