Joey Savatgy is the kind of 450SX rider that non-factory teams are built around. A decade of professional racing. An Australian 450 Supercross Championship. A third-place finish in the 2024 World Supercross Championship. Multiple AMA 250SX podiums and race wins. A 23-podium career in the premier American indoor series. He is not a prospect. He is a proven championship-level operator — and in 2026, he is the anchor of the Quad Lock Honda Racing program.
Savatgy turned professional out of Georgia with a background in Kawasaki's amateur programs before finding his footing in the 250 class and eventually making the move to the 450. His World Supercross career with the Australian-based Quad Lock Honda squad has made him one of the most recognized faces in the global format — and his 2024 run that included the Australian 450 SX title and a WSX podium made the case for him as a legitimate title contender at the highest level.
"With over 18 top-level riders in the 450 class, we're taking a measured approach to the initial rounds. Our goal is to secure maximum points early on and reassess in February."
— Joey Savatgy · Quad Lock Honda Racing, ahead of A1 2026A Championship Mindset
What sets Savatgy apart in the Quad Lock Honda program is his approach. He's been around the 450 class long enough to know that consistency over 17 rounds wins championships — not heroics at the opener. His measured pre-season comments heading into 2026 weren't a lack of ambition; they were the words of a rider who understands the math of a full championship season better than most.
The Quad Lock Honda Racing team was built on race-winning culture. Team owner Yarrive Konsky — the Australian who put Quad Lock's name on the side of a race-winning 450 — has delivered WSX championship-contending programs year after year. Kenny Roczen won with this team. Max Anstie won with this team. McElrath won world titles with this team. Savatgy captured the Australian 450 SX crown with this team. The organizational DNA of Quad Lock Honda is built on delivering results without factory backing — and Joey Savatgy is the reason the 2026 AMA program has teeth.

The motocross community is their next frontier. Joey Savatgy, Shane McElrath, and Christian Craig are carrying the message gate to gate.

Savatgy's racing has taken him across the world — from AMA Supercross rounds in Anaheim and Daytona to rounds in Australia, Argentina, Malaysia, South Africa, and Canada in the World Supercross Championship. That global footprint maps perfectly to Quad Lock's own international reach. The brand ships to every corner of the planet. Their team races on it. The alignment is genuine.
In 2026, Savatgy enters the AMA Supercross season with the full weight of a decade's experience and a championship mentality sharpened by competing at the world level. The #711 on the Quad Lock CRF450R is not filling a grid spot — it's a legitimate threat, round by round, from Anaheim all the way to Salt Lake City.
