August 4, 2025 — Fantic Motor USA, in partnership with Hi-Tech Motorsports, is proud to announce the Fantic Racing USA Hard Enduro and Endurocross team for the 2025 and 2026 race seasons. The team will be led by respected race team manager and Hi-Tech Motorsports owner Shawn Widdicombe. Fantic Racing USA has signed two upcoming American racers: 17-year-old Braxton Hintze competing in the Pro class and 15-year-old Kael Widdicombe racing in the Junior class.
Both riders will be racing aboard the 2025 Fantic XE300 two stroke model. The team will make its official debut at this year’s Tennessee Knockout Hard Enduro and will race the full Endurocross series through the remainder of the season.
Statement from Shawn Widdicombe, Team Owner and Manager:
“We’re excited to get the Fantic brand back into racing here in the US with two young and talented riders. Braxton and Kael both bring strong work ethic and focus to the team. We’re looking forward to helping them develop and compete at a high level throughout the Hard Enduro and Endurocross seasons. We believe in the potential of these riders and the performance of the XE300 platform.”
Statement from Gary Hazel, Fantic Motor USA:
"Hi-Tech Motorsports is an amazing dealership in Montana with a huge offroad following all due to Shawn Widdecombe and his team! We couldn't be happier to have chosen his dealership to manage our Fantic Hard Enduro team for 2025 and 2026!
