He claimed his first career 450 Class win in the summer of 2014 and carried that momentum into 2015, grabbing a pair of 450SX Class wins in Supercross and a trio of overall victories in Pro Motocross. He enters 2016 as one of the sport’s most promising young riders and is a favorite to contend for each respective championship during his inaugural season with Monster Energy Kawasaki

WIL HAHN 2013 Monster Energy Supercross 250SX East Champion 2 Career 250SX Class Wins

Will Hahn’s years of experience paid off in a big way in 2013 when he achieved his dream of becoming a champion, claiming the Monster Energy Supercross 250SX East crown on the heels of consistency that led him to podium finishes in every race and back-to-back wins in Atlanta and St. Louis. He made the move to 450cc competition the following season and showed promise within the exceptional depth of talent in the premier division. With a career-best 4th-place finish under his belt during his rookie campaign, Hahn joined Monster Energy Kawasaki in 2015 and posted a pair of top-10 finishes in AMA Pro Motocross and is looking to build on his first year with the team to capitalize on the potential he’s shown since moving into the 450 ranks.
