Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Re-Signs Ryder LeBlond in Multi-Year Deal
Ryder LeBlond secures his future with Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing through 2025 and beyond.
Husqvarna Mobility North America has officially announced the extension of its contract with Ryder LeBlond, a promising young talent in the world of hard enduro and endurocross racing. This new multi-year agreement will keep the 22-year-old Pennsylvania native on the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team until at least the 2025 season.
LeBlond has shown impressive growth and consistency in the competitive U.S. Hard Enduro Series, where he currently sits third in the standings for the 2024 season. His performance aboard the Husqvarna TE 300 has been nothing short of remarkable, claiming three podium finishes in the first five rounds. His skill was further demonstrated by a standout second-place finish at the Silver Kings Hard Enduro, a one-off event that featured some of the best riders in the discipline.
As the season transitions into the AMA EnduroCross Championship, LeBlond will be switching gears—literally and figuratively—by moving to the Husqvarna FX 350. The EnduroCross series, known for its intense, obstacle-laden courses, kicks off in Colorado Springs on October 12. LeBlond aims to improve upon his fifth-place overall finish from the previous season, using the experience he has gained over the past two years with the team.
LeBlond’s excitement about the new contract is palpable. “I am super-excited about signing another multi-year deal to do what I love!” he expressed. “It was an easy decision; we have such a strong team with the current bike and all of the people involved. I can’t wait to see what we do in the future.”
Anthony DiBasilio, Off-Road Team Manager for Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing, echoed LeBlond’s enthusiasm. “We are excited to welcome back Ryder LeBlond to continue racing the U.S. Hard Enduro and EnduroCross events,” DiBasilio said. “Ryder has grown so much over the last couple of years and is just getting started. We know Ryder will continue to rise to the top in the Hard Enduro series, as he has shown he can consistently battle for the podium. Ryder will continue to hone his EnduroCross skills in an attempt to fight for the podium in that series as well. We are looking forward to the next couple of years of helping Ryder achieve his dreams and to win some championships.”
With this new contract, Ryder LeBlond is not just securing his place in the racing world but also setting the stage for what could be a defining chapter in his career. Fans and competitors alike will be watching closely as he continues to push the limits in both Hard Enduro and EnduroCross, aiming for that elusive championship.
