- Apr 14, 2008
The Factory Aprilia Rip It Energy Fuel race team is ready for the 2008 racing
season. Current AMA Unlimited champion Ben Carlson will ride in the 450 class as
former runner up Darryl Atkins will focus on the Unlimited class.

Both riders will compete on SXV 450 Aprilias equipped with K&N Engineering
products. Factory Aprilia spent the off season testing its bikes. “Our extensive research
and development rendered a series of groundbreaking improvements on our Italian
machines,” said team manager Darryl Atkins. “As our progression builds, it is
beginning to set us apart from the competition. We use K&N air and oil filters
because we can depend
on K&N for additional performance and excellent filtration when we race.”
AMA Unlimited Champion Ben Carlson
Team Aprilia will make its debut at the San Diego ESPN Moto X World
Championship in April. “I have confidence that Benny will be very strong in the
450 class,” said Atkins. “As for me, I’ve experienced a remarkable recovery from
my broken wrist in 2007. This season I will be working with former American
Motocross and Supercross champion Mike Bell for training and on track support.”
Atkins and Carlson will also participate in X-Games 14 at Los Angeles, California on August 1 and 2.
