One of the most fluid yet aggressive riders in the supercross scene right now is the #25 Red Bull KTM ride of Marvin Musquin. Hailing from France, Musquin’s technique
was inspired by racers internationally. Marvin got his first bike at a very young age and im- mediately began studying those to do it before him and develop his own style on and off of the bike. Before making his way to America
to take on the rest of the eager motocross world, Marvin decided it be best to get his
feet wet in the World Motocross competitions overseas. Realizing early on what it was go- ing to take to become a champion, Musquin worked tirelessly to earn his first title in the World Motocross Championship, doing so in 2009 and earning his second consecutive in 2010. Musquin also went on to take home
top honors in the FIM World Motocross MX2 title in the same year, marking 2010 a very promising one for the young French superstar. Marvin’s initial showings in the United States were satisfactory, earning himself a solid third

overall in the 250SX West Region. The #25 KTM pilot continued moving forward, reaching out and taking his first overall win at Unadilla. Marvin’s next several seasons saw him put in immeasurable efforts as he worked towards his first national championship. Minus a few injuries, Marvin’s rise was a pretty smooth one overall. After missing out on his chances to take home the 2014 championship, Musquin entered the competition in 2015 ready to handle the competition. Musquin made light work of them, clicking away win after win
and clinching the 250SX East championship. Musquin’s string of impressive years have added up to quite a resume and 2016 proves to be even more exciting for MM as he takes the final step of a rider’s professional career and enters the murky waters known as the 450 premier Supercross class. Marvin’s style suits the big bike and his lap times do not lie. In a class that is already filled with immense talent, the #25 adds a brand new element to the already dangerous class as he steps up to the 450 plate underneath the bright stadium lights at Anaheim.
