The Tailem Bend-based circuit has produced superb racing over recent years, where the likes of Jack Miller, Senna Agius, Joel Kelso, Josh Hook, Marcel Schrötter and Kyle Ryde have all contested ASBK events.

The Bend, officially opened in 2018, is one of the premier circuits in the world. The 18-turn international layout used in the ASBK Championship provides massive variety – blind turns, sweeping corners, hard braking zones and areas for maximum acceleration – which makes it anything but a walk in the park. It’s the degree of difficulty which makes it such a formidable challenge for riders and a bonanza for spectators.

The infrastructure, corporate and spectator facilities at The Bend are world class, which means all the off-track ASBK activities – welcome centre displays, fan zone, the ASBK Trade Alley, ‘Mini Moto come and try’ sessions, autograph sessions and pitlane walks – are also extremely popular.

The huge welcome centre also hosts ASBK press conferences for the fans, and accommodation is also available on site at the 100-room Rydges Pit Lane Hotel and cabins and camping at The Bend Big4 Holiday Park – as well as options for all budgets across Tailem Bend and towns close to the Murray River.

Competing classes:
– SW-Motech Superbike
– Kawasaki Supersport Next Gen
– Race and Road Supersport 300
– BLU CRU R3 Cup
– BLU CRU Oceania Junior Cup
– Superbike Masters[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”full_width_grid” el_id=”h1-no-margin” color_bg=”#00addc” delay=”0″][vc_column width=”7/12″ delay=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1484615653723{padding-top: 55px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text delay=”0″]
