Vohlad didn’t get a chance to prove his potential with the Pro Circuit Kawasaki team after suffering a dislocated hip in January while preparing for the second AMA Supercross event that sidelined him for the entire season and left him without a chance to renew with the team.
Fortunately a new opportunity to continue racing at the highest level has presented itself in the form of the ClubMX Yamaha team, one of the most competitive “privateers” structures within AMA Supercross/Motocross.
“I am thrilled to have reached an agreement with the Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX team. After witnessing their success the past couple of years, joining the team was an easy decision for me. The deciding factor was the opportunity to go to the ClubMX facility. I want to be a better all-around rider and be a part of a team. When I visited the facility, the vibe was like nothing I have experienced before – it felt like a real team atmosphere. No doubt this is going to be a big change for me, but it is what I need at this point in my career. I am eager to get back to work and contribute to the momentum of this team as we head into Supercross.”
Max Vohland was one of the most decorated amateur racers of our time which quickly advanced him to the pro ranks in 2021. Some people may have said “too soon” but when the opportunity door opened, he had to take the chance. His team at the time saw the same thing everyone else did – an amazing level of seemingly endless talent that should propel him well into the future. He quickly made an impact with a string of top ten finishes in Supercross followed later that rookie season with some top five finishes in Motocross. His success on the outdoor circuit that year earned him the coveted Marty Smith Rookie of the Year award.
With some experience under his belt, he really began to show what he could do in his following two seasons with consistent results at every stop on the circuit. As he matured into the role of professional racer, his skill and race craft continued to mature with him. It was just a matter of time before he consistently stood on the podium and became a title threat. His career takes a slight pause in 2024 but now he is ready to rebound in 2025 and the Muc-Off/FXR/ ClubMX team is there to support the rest of his story.
