Samco Sport is proud to announce a new partnership with Monster Mountain MX, becoming one of the event sponsors for the upcoming round of the ACU British Motocross Championship taking place on Sunday 14 June in Merthyr Tydfil.

Located just outside the town and set across more than 90 acres of rugged South Wales terrain, Monster Mountain MX has quickly become a major destination for riders and fans from across the UK. The venue features multiple tracks designed to challenge competitors of all abilities, while its flagship circuit has hosted several national-level events and continues to attract some of the best riders in the country.

The event forms part of the prestigious British Motocross Championship calendar, widely regarded as the UK’s premier motocross series and a key pathway for riders progressing to the international stage. The 2026 championship season includes multiple rounds across the country, with Monster Mountain scheduled to host Round 5 on 14 June.

For Samco Sport, supporting this event is particularly significant. As a company proudly rooted in South Wales, partnering with a major motorsport venue in Merthyr Tydfil reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to supporting grassroots motorsport and the communities where racing continues to thrive. Local events like the British Motocross Championship round at Monster Mountain provide an important platform for both emerging talent and established riders, while bringing fans, teams and industry partners together in one of the most exciting environments in the sport.

Samco Sports high-performance silicone hose technology is used across multiple disciplines around the world, but maintaining strong links with domestic racing remains just as important.

Matthew Davies, Marketing Manager at Samco Sport, said, “We’re really proud to be supporting Monster Mountain MX and this year’s British Motocross Championship round. As a South Wales-based company, it’s important for us to back local events that are helping to grow the sport. Monster Mountain has quickly become one of the UK’s standout motocross venues, and we’re excited to be part of what promises to be a fantastic race weekend.”

Darren Lewis, CEO of Monster Mountain MX added “Monster Mountain has worked hard to establish itself as one of the UK’s leading motocross venues, so to be hosting a British Championship round with the backing of Samco Sport is something we’re incredibly proud of. This partnership reflects the direction we’re heading in – building bigger, better events and creating something special for the sport here in South Wales.”

 With thousands of spectators expected and some of the country’s top motocross riders lining up on the gate, the Monster Mountain round of the British Motocross Championship promises to be one of the highlights of the 2026 season. Samco Sport is excited to play a part in the event and looks forward to supporting both the venue and the wider motocross community in South Wales.

Samco Sport is proud to announce the launch of its Rider Support Programme for the 2026 season, a new initiative designed to support riders and teams across all levels of motorcycle racing.

Developed in collaboration with leading distributor RaceBikeBitz, the programme aims to help reduce the financial barriers associated with competing in motorsport, while providing access to Samco Sport’s race-proven silicone hose technology.

Motorsport is widely recognised as one of the most demanding and costly environments in which to compete. From entry fees and equipment to travel and maintenance, the investment required can often limit opportunities for riders looking to progress through the sport. The Samco Sport Rider Support Programme has been created to directly address some of these challenges by offering practical support alongside high-performance products trusted at the highest level of racing.

The programme is open to licensed motorcycle racers and teams competing across a wide range of disciplines, from grassroots and club racing through to national and international competition. Successful applicants will gain access to exclusive discounted pricing on Samco Sport silicone hose products via RaceBikeBitz, helping riders benefit from the same levels of durability, reliability and performance used throughout professional motorsport.

In addition to discounted products, riders will receive a Team Samco welcome pack, including official branding materials and digital assets to support their presence both in the paddock and across social media. The initiative also creates opportunities for riders to be featured across Samco Sport’s media channels, helping to increase visibility and engagement throughout the season.

The Rider Support Programme forms part of Samco Sport’s wider commitment to supporting motorsport at every level. By working closely with riders and teams, the company aims to build a strong and authentic community that reflects the passion, dedication and professionalism seen across the sport.

Matthew Davies, Marketing Manager at Samco Sport, said “The Rider Support Programme is something we’re incredibly proud to launch for 2026. Motorsport can be a challenging environment financially, and this initiative is about giving something back to the riders and teams who are at the heart of the sport. Whether you’re competing at club level or pushing towards championship success, we want to support that journey and help riders perform with confidence using our products.”

Richard Murphy, Managing Director at RaceBikeBitz, added “Racebikebitz Ltd has been a distributor of Samco Sport for over 20 years, I have personally maintained a professional relationship with Samco Sport spanning over 25 years. Our long-standing partnership reflects a shared commitment to support the next generation of riders. This is about giving something back to the up-and-coming riders of today.”

From the very outset, Samco Sport have been a leading supplier to a wide variety of motorsport racers, from WSBK an BSB right down to grassroots level. This is something we have been actively involved in from the start and is a huge source of pride for Racebikebitz.

 

This new scheme will allow Samco Sport & Racebikebitz to further support more grassroots riders, by helping more of you to have access to the highest quality UK manufactured silicone hose kits on the market. This will allow you to race with total confidence in your cooling system, and in turn to ensure you can perform at your best with less worries about the bike. We look forward to working with you for many years to come.”
