Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Off-Road Team To Wear Fly Racing Apparel for 2016
With 2016 just underway, Fly Racing has announced that they will be providing racing apparel to the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Off-Road team. With team members Mike Brown, Josh Strang, Jacob Argubright, Andrew Delong, and Colton Haaker on the team, that means the Husqvarnas and Fly Racing off-road gear will be seen in various AMA series — Endurocross, National Enduro, National Hare and Hound and Western Hare Scramble — as well as GNCC and FIM Super Enduro.
Here’s a rundown of the members of the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Off-Road team:
Mike Brown has an impressive résumé, with a AMA 125 Motocross championship, top three finishes in the 125cc World Championship, and gold medals at the X Games in EnduroX. In 2015, he had Endurocross wins and finished third in the championship.
Colton Haaker is fresh off a podium finish in the German round of the Maxxis FIM Super Enduro World Championship and a moto win in Poland. Haaker is also an eight-time competitor in the X Games (winning a Silver Medal in 2013 at Barcelona), as well as the winner of the 2015 King of the Motos extreme off-road race. A former motocrosser and trials pro, Haaker has been the runner-up in the pro class Endurocross Series the last two years. Haaker was the Endurocross Junior Champion in 2009 and 2010.
Australian Josh Strang is the 2010 GNCC XC1 champion, and finished the 2015 GNCC XC1 season with three wins in four races, putting him in third place overall for the year, despite not scoring in four races due to a shoulder injury. Strang also took two wins in the Kenda Full Gas Enduro Series, and making the podium in all the races he contested.
Jacob Argubright will race in the west in the AMA National Hare and Hound Series, and with the AMA Western Hare Scrambles Series. Argubright, just 22, has three AMA National Hare and Hound wins to his credit, in addition to three District 37 championships.
Andrew Delong won the Kenda AMA National Enduro Championship in 2014, is a many-time XC2 winner in the GNCC Series, and a five-time ISDE Gold Medalist. Delong also won the Sandlapper National Enduro in 2015.
Our only question is, how are they going to keep that white Fly Racing Lite Hydrogen Racewear white off-road when thrashing around on their Husqvarna motorcycles?
The Motos and Friends Podcast is brought to you by Insta360. This episode is also brought to you by the 33rd annual Biketoberfest® rally that takes place in the Daytona Beach and Volusia County areas, Florida; on Oct. 16-19.
In our first segment, Don Williams and Kelly Callan discuss the all-new 2025 KTM 390 Adventure R. This is a clean-sheet motorcycle with little in common with its predecessor. The R has a new chassis, larger-displacement engine, and a 21-inch front/18-inch rear wheelset. Looking ready to hit the dirt with its rally-tall windscreen and wire-spoked wheels, the 390 Adventure R still sits in the Travel category, assuring us that KTM didn’t lose track of the pavement experience as the new model is prepped for off-road detours. In KTM’s extensive 390 lineup, the new Adventure R slots perfectly between another two new models—the more road-friendly Adventure X and the dual-sport Enduro R.

In our second segment this week, Teejay Adams chats with Lucy Blondel, from Vancouver, Canada. Lucy is a regular at track days on her BMW S1000RR and Suzuki Gixxer 750. She also competes on her Ninja 400, but we met her through her 2024 and 25 seasons participation in the Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race program. She didn’t win a race, but she acquitted herself extremely well and is proud of her accomplishments. Unfortunately Lucy has had some life-changing challenges in the last couple of years, and yet somehow has come through it all and is still smiling and riding motorcycles very, very fast.
