Kawasaki UK Partners With Downhill MTB Legend Bernard Kerr

Always eager to attract new audiences to the world of motorcycling, Kawasaki UK is excited to be teaming up with downhill mountain bike star Bernard Kerr. Team owner and rider of the Pivot Factory Racing Squad, Bernard will be using the Kawasaki KX250, KLX140R and Brute Force 450 throughout 2026.

The name Bernard Kerr will need no introduction to fans of the adrenaline-fueled world of downhill mountain biking, with the 34-year-old Englishman having achieved a huge amount of success in both the UCI Downhill World Cup and the Red Bull Hardline events, some of the most brutal downhill races in the world.

When he's not taking on the challenging trails or running his multi-rider Pivot Factory Racing team, Bernard has amassed a huge following across his Instagram and YouTube accounts. A keen petrolhead, Kawasaki is excited to be teaming up with Bernard for 2026, supplying him with the proven KX250, KLX140R and Brute Force 450 ATV. These machines will be appearing frequently throughout his content next year, helping to bring the Kawasaki range to a huge new audience.

Bernard Kerr:

“Kawasaki has always been the super cool green brand that hosted some of the greats in the Supercross Heyday that I looked up to. To be a part of this iconic brand and create some great memories and content with them is honestly a childhood dream. It's going to be a partnership I will cherish and enjoy all the way!”

Ross Burridge, Head of Marketing & Racing Department at Kawasaki Motors UK:

“We are constantly searching for new audiences to showcase the amazing world of motorcycling to and after meeting Bernard recently, we believe that the mountain bike fanbase fits our intentions perfectly. We're looking forward to seeing how Bernard ties the two worlds together courtesy of his fantastic video content and welcome new riders finding their feet in motorised two-wheel sport to Kawasaki and Team Green!”
