Chinese manufacturer JHL Moto is preparing to debut in the FIM Motocross World Championship at the Grand Prix of China in Shanghai. The brand intends to field riders in both the MXGP and MX2 classes during this home round to test its machinery against established manufacturers.

Taiwanese rider Brian Hsu will represent the manufacturer in the MXGP class. Hsu, who has been involved in testing both 250cc and 350cc machines, will ride a specially prepared JHL LX350R. Hsu noted that the project carries “significant cultural and political dimensions” due to his background and the brand’s goal of establishing an international presence.
