Natalie Kane entrusts EBC discs and pads on her Husqvarna
Natalie Kane has been racing motocross around Europe for many years, recently taking a break due to pregnancy.
She recently returned to compete in the Women’s Swedish Championship for 2025, with her first round taking place just nine weeks after giving birth.
Kane relies on EBC’s MX-S (front) and R-Series (rear) motocross brake pads, as well as MD Contour discs on her Husqvarna bike.
We caught up with Kane after round 6 of the championship, which took place at the Göta Motorcross Track.
“Yesterday was the 6th round of the Swedish Championship at Göta Motocross Track – a track I have never been to before, so was all new for me. After walking the track, I thought it looked quite fun, although potentially hard to pass on. This was another hard-pack track so it did not help that it decided to rain all morning.
“Like always, I struggled in the wet conditions and to do one single fast lap in qualifying, so 6th was the best I could do but I did feel I could be a lot better.”
“Race 1 – I got an average start but made some smart decisions and found myself in 3rd after a few laps. Unfortunately, I lost my rear brake on the mud and went off-track, dropping back to 5th and it took me a few laps to get the brake working fully again. Then I could push harder and managed to catch up and pass for 4th on the last lap.
“Race 2 – I got an OK start again, but this time got myself in 3rd out of the 1st corner and going on through the lap, I took the lead! It has been 6 years since I lead a race, so I pumped up and got a little bit too excited and jumped off the track. I hurt my wrist and stomach where I have my scar from having my child, and I just could not get back into it again after that so would end up 5th in the end.”
“4th and 5th finishes meant 5th overall, which again a I took a lot of positives and improvements from; it felt awesome to lead a race again, even if I pumped myself up too much. Going to get a lot more riding in before the last round and let’s see what we can do…”
