When the 2025 WR250F arrived, we saw the potential to create something special.

Since then, we’ve delivered more than 25 WR300F and YZ300F 304cc conversions, spending countless hours developing the package that riders know today.

The end result wasn’t achieved by simply bolting on a big bore kit. It came from testing, riding, refining, remapping and doing it all again. Every change, every adjustment and every revision helped make the package better.

One of the biggest advantages we’ve had throughout the development process is the variety of riders within our own team. From Australian Champions and experienced racers through to everyday trail riders and self-confessed trail hacks, every change has been tested, critiqued and refined from multiple perspectives.

That means the final package doesn’t just work for the fastest rider in the group—it works for the rider heading out on a Sunday trail ride, the racer lining up on the start line, and everyone in between.

Over the past year we’ve invested an enormous amount of time into development, in-house mapping, setup and getting these bikes in front of riders. We’ve encouraged as many people as possible to ride our demo bikes because genuine rider feedback has been one of the most valuable tools in refining the package.

Every WR300F we build today benefits from everything we’ve learned since the very first conversion. The package continues to evolve through testing, tuning, customer feedback and countless hours in the workshop.

We’re proud to see how much interest the WR300F platform has generated, but we’ll continue doing what we’ve always done: developing, improving and supporting what our customers want and need.

Projects like this are what keep us excited about the motorcycle industry. They’re an opportunity to create something different, challenge conventional thinking and deliver a product that genuinely improves the riding experience.

The 2027 YZ range is arriving now!

With the new models landing in store, it’s time to make room on the showroom floor.

That means massive savings across the remaining MY26 YZ motocross range, with deals available on selected YZ65, YZ85, YZ125, YZ250, YZ250F and YZ450F models.

To make things even better, there are also massive finance offers available, making it easier than ever to get yourself onto a new YZ.

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading, now is the time. Stock is limited and once these MY26 models are gone, they’re gone.

Contact the team or drop into the showroom to find the right bike and deal for you.

Wato has his new 2026 FE 450 demo ready to go.

This one has been kept nice and simple. We’ve fitted a set of genuine Husqvarna accessory wheels, ego Handguards completed a basic setup, and it’s ready to head straight into the bush.

The FE 450 is already an incredibly capable enduro machine straight out of the crate, proving that sometimes less is more.

Now it’s time for Wato to put some hours on it.

🔥 WR300F & YZ300F Ready to Rip 🔥

Our Yamaha 250cc to 304cc big bore conversions have been flying out the door this week. These WR300F and YZ300F builds are kitted, tuned, and ready to head home with 2 lucky customers. 👌

The 304cc conversion delivers:
✅ Bulk torque
✅ Massive horsepower gains across the entire rev range
✅ Stronger drive everywhere without losing that lightweight, agile feel

It makes these bikes even more usable and easier to ride hard — without the heavy inertia and sluggish feeling that can come with bigger thumpers.

Each build is paired with custom in-house developed mapping, created and tested by real riders in real conditions — not just built for dyno numbers, but for how the bike actually performs on the trail and track.

Demo available to feel the benefits!

Speak to the team about options for your own custom build. 💥

This is more than a bike. It’s a statement.
