The Beta Australia Enduro Team with Jye Dickson continued their 2025 campaign at Rounds 5 and 6 of the Australian Enduro Championship (AEC) in Tintinara, South Australia over the weekend. Riders faced dry, sandy, and physically demanding conditions that tested both skill and endurance.

Saturday’s action featured a cross-country format over three hours, with riders completing eight laps of a punishing track. Victorian rider Andy Wilksch rode consistently aboard his Beta RC 450 4T to finish 4th outright and 3rd in the E2 class. Teammate Jye Dickson suffered vision issues due to the heavy dust and fell back from the lead pack, but still managed to secure 3rd in the E3 class. Ebony Nielsen also found the conditions challenging, finishing 5th in the EW class.

Sunday’s sprint format brought a shift in momentum, with riders taking on six tests across more deep sandy conditions. Jye Dickson came out firing aboard his RR 480 RACE, winning five of the six tests. His dominant performance earned him 1st place outright in the Pro Enduro Class and 1st in E3, delivering Beta Australia its first-ever outright Pro Enduro victory.

Andy Wilksch also impressed, finishing 3rd in the first test and 2nd in two others. He wrapped up the day with 2nd place in E2 and 3rd outright in the Pro Enduro Class. Ebony Nielsen bounced back with a consistent ride, finishing 3rd in the EW class.

Rider Reflections

“It was a very physical weekend, with over four hours of riding in rough, sandy conditions, but the Beta RC 450 was faultless. I’m happy to come away with good results and move up to 3rd in the Pro Enduro standings.”
– Andy Wilksch

“I struggled with the dust on Saturday, which caused vision issues and affected my riding. Sunday was a big turnaround for me. I knew I had the pace—I just had to stay consistent. It was a great day, taking out my first outright win. The Beta RR 480 RACE felt great all weekend.”

“The rough, sandy conditions weren’t my strong suit, but I continued to push and came away with a 3rd place finish in class on Sunday.”
