The Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK)is Australia’s premier motorcycling championship, with a season filled with 7 rounds in 4 states and territories, bringing together Australia’s best riders and leading world class manufactures.

The motorcycles used for ASBK are production based motorcycles with modifications purpose-built for racing at speeds parallel to world’s standards.  These bikes aren’t built for the road, but are obtainable for riders wanting to test their skills on the race track.

The Australian Superbike Championship was first held in 1989 and won by Malcolm “Wally” Campbell. The bikes were 750cc 4-strokes and produced 115 -120 horsepower.

As the sport evolves, bikes get lighter, faster and the tires more tractable.  The end result is speeds and lap times unprecedented in previous years.  Technology has limitless boundaries and with traction control, new suspension componentry, data acquisition and new tire technology the future looks bright for advancements in motorcycle racing.

Riders

The current crop of rider’s are equally more advanced like their bikes than the predecessors.  Advance sports science has enabled riders to fully understand their bodies and minds.  These advancements have helped riders exceed in areas that were previously ignored.

Off the bike training, mental training and practical on the bike training are equally demanding and necessary to become a champion.

In a sport that has been acknowledged by sports coaches, doctors and physiologists as both physically and mentally demanding at the highest level of athleticism it’s critical for riders to be the complete package.
