Motiv have announced that Keven Hebert will be representing the brand in 2019. Other than Keven’s ability to compete with their products among the worlds best, he brings in many years of experience and most importantly a championship attitude that really makes the difference.

I am excited to be running for Motiv in 2019! Not many of you know this but when I first started racing, the first pro racer I met was Paul Lemieux, It was in 2002 at a race in Canada. Even though I could not speak English back then he was there to help and did everything he could to help me. 17 years later I am happy to be running for a company that has killer racer products made by one of the most genuine people in the industry. Looking forward to seeing you all at the track!
