Speaking of tech training in the powersports industry, the SuperMotocross League has partnered with Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI) to foster future championship mechanics. Upcoming SuperMotocross World Championship Finals will see MMI on display in FanFest at both Concord, NC, and Fort Worth, TX, for the first two playoff rounds, along with in-venue features.
Many teams throughout the SuperMotocross paddock already entrust their race bikes to MMI graduates. Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, Ken Roczen and Levi Kitchen, as well as teams such as Red Bull KTM, Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki and BarX Suzuki, rely on MMI graduates to repair and maintain their race bikes throughout a 31-round championship season.
MMI’s Motorcycle Technician Training program covers the essentials for making repairs and maintaining motorcycles and powersports equipment, including ATVs, side-by-sides and personal watercraft. Students apply their knowledge with comprehensive hands-on experience in real-world scenarios to train in areas such as suspension tuning, fuel injection and diagnostics. Aspiring technicians also have the opportunity to elevate their education and earn an associate of occupational studies (AOS) degree at MMI Phoenix or an occupational associate degree (OAD) at MMI Orlando in programs for specific brand combinations.
