Tyler leads the Carl Cox Ninja 400 Cup by over 200 points heading into the final rounds in March. With such a substantial lead, he is well-positioned to claim this fifth championship title.

In addition to his championship wins, Tyler was awarded the Ray Whitham Memorial Cup at the Suzuki International Series. This prestigious accolade recognises the most outstanding rider of the series and is a testament to Tyler’s exceptional performance and dedication.
Looking Ahead
Tyler’s incredible year reflects his commitment to growth, resilience, and hard work. His gratitude extends to his family, supporters, and sponsors, whose backing has been instrumental in his success. As he prepares for the NZ Superbike 2025 (NZSBK25), and continues his journey to the Grand Prix, Tyler King is undoubtedly a rider to watch on the New Zealand and international motorsport stages.
