Ontario’s Jason Michael will lead Husqvarna Motorcycles’ return to Canadian MX racing circles. 18-year-old Michael has been contracted to race the CMA National Arenacross Series and the C.M.R.C. lites class at Gopher Dunes, Sand De Lee, and Walton aboard Husqvarna's impressive new TC250.

"The bike is a perfect fit," commented Jason after testing the bike at an arenacross facility in Ohio. "I couldn't believe how comfortable and responsive it felt."

Husqvarna was impressed with Michael's patient approach to racing and bursts of speed last season that resulted in his qualifying for a national after just a few weeks in the Pro ranks. Jason was equally impressed with the bike. "We started negotiations almost immediately after I got home from testing," he said. "I hope I can live up to the qualities and potential this bike is showing and help Husky re-establish themselves in Canada.”
