INSIDE ELI TOMAC’S STAR RACING YAMAHA YZ450F

2023 offered an all-new Yamaha YZ450F. We actually got to try it out for ourselves at the Star Racing compound in Cairo, Georgia this past winter. Eli was able to ride the bike and get a sneak peek at it much earlier than that. Once Eli saw its potential he inked an extension with Star Racing Yamaha for Supercross on a 1-year deal. Eli showed any and all doubters that this bike was extremely competitive by winning the opening round of Supercross in Anaheim. We met with mechanic Josh Ellingson in Denver to go over Eli’s new bike and some of the factory components they use. This was also MXA’s 2023 Bike of the Year!
