KTM Racing Team concluded the 2025 AUSX Supercross Championship with a strong showing at the weekend's Adelaide Grand Final, where SX2 contender Byron Dennis raced to second position on the podium and SX1 teammate Dylan Walsh delivered his best performance of the year with a convincing P4 result.
Dennis was on the pace from the moment he hit the tight confines of Victoria Parklands precinct during practice on Friday, powering his KTM 250 SX-F to the second-fastest qualifying time as the grippy circuit rewarded a high degree of intensity.

The 18-year-old's form carried into Saturday’s racing program, racing to the opening SX2 Heat Race win of the round. A fast start in the first of two SX2 Finals saw Dennis deliver a spectacular victory, before recording a fifth-place result in race two to secure second overall.

Byron Dennis: “It was good to wrap up the season in Adelaide with a P2 overall finish! I’m stoked with my riding, as well as getting my first final win, and I’m excited to get this overall result too. It shows the progress we have been making this year, so we can take a lot of confidence into 2026 – a big thanks to the team for all their support this season.”

Inclement weather on Friday disrupted SX1 qualifying, allowing the field to transfer directly into Saturday’s Heat Races. Walsh delivered a strong start to proceedings with a P2 result in his Heat, setting a solid platform for the pair of finals ahead.

Well in the mix for a top-five championship result entering Round 5, the 26-year-old put together a pair of impressive rides to record 6-3 finishes onboard the KTM 450 SX-F, ultimately securing fourth overall in the SX1 standings on debut.

Dylan Walsh: “It was an up-and-down day to wrap up the final round here in Adelaide. I made things hard for myself with a bad start in Final 1, which really cost me when the points were so tight. Final 2 was much better with a holeshot and P3 to finish the night, so I just missed the overall podium by one point, but I’m proud to finish the season fourth in the SX1 championship. Big thanks to the team for the effort all year! Now, we reset and build for what’s next.”

In addition, privateer Hayden Mellross also completed what has been a remarkable season onboard his KTM 450 SX-F, as the experienced New South Welshman claimed third in the final SX1 championship standings.

The SX3 ranks saw KTM Racing Team-supported Jackson Fuller post a standout ride in Adelaide, taking fourth overall in the development class on Sunday, which elevated him to ninth in the series. 

KTM-equipped trio Luis Cannon, Ollie Birkitt (KTM Junior Racing Team), and Zander Kruik delivered an all-KTM podium lockout in the KTM SX85 Futures category.
