- Venhill supported motorcycle race teams and riders
-
Venhill controls have been tested to the max in the motorsport world for more than 35 years. We have a simple policy - we don’t pay teams or their riders to use our products. We will provide teams with the control cables, brake lines and associated products (like fast action throttles) that they need. But we know know that if a rider chooses us, he’s choosing us because we’re the best - not because he’s been paid to do so.
That's why Venhill is the brand of choice for top teams and riders from Motocross to Superbikes. Below are just a small selection of the many Venhill-supported teams and riders. Keep up to date with the latest race new on the official Venhill blog http://www.venhill.co.uk/News/Venhill_Blog
