The weekend saw Beta Motorcycles Australia Hard Enduro rider, Ruben Chadwick head to Victoria for the last race of the year – the infamous Wildwood Rock Extreme. Following his win at the 2023 event, Chadwick set his sights on bringing home a back-to-back win aboard his Beta RR 300 Racing.
Leading out the gold class pack for the main race, Chadwick showcased his talent and smooth style throughout the gruelling course, consisting of large boulders, steep hills and loose rock. The Rock Garden section was extended for the 2024 event, which suited Ruben well, and the Queensland-based rider gained an eight-minute lead within the first lap.
Continuing to push throughout the race, Chadwick’s stamina and determination saw him finish the 5-lap race in 3 hours and 34 minutes, with an impressive lead of 36 minutes ahead of second-place rider Wade Ibrahim.
“Fitness and bike time has been a focus for me this year and I’m glad to see it pay off and to come away with the win again at Wildwood. It was a very demanding track, but the conditions suited me well, and I was able to put plenty of time between me and the other riders. The BetaRR 300 Racing performed flawlessly all day, taking on all that I gave it throughout the race. Thank you to my sponsors for your support throughout the year.” Ruben Chadwick.
The Wildwood Rock Extreme concludes the 2023 Hard Enduro calendar. Bring on 2025!
