Beta USA has announced the signing of female racer Morgan Tanke to its 2015 off-road team.

Tanke, from Riverside, California, is a former trials competitor who has been making a splash in the GEICO AMA EnduroCross Series this season, where she is currently second in the Women’s class points standings. Tanke will race all of the EnduroCross races in 2015 under the Factory Beta USA tent aboard the all-new Xtrainer.

Tanke, who has won one EnduroCross and finished on the podium four times this year, is looking forward to her association with Beta.

“I’m really excited to be with Beta USA in 2015,” she said. “The bikes are amazing, and I can’t thank them enough for this great opportunity!”

Beta USA Marketing Manager Tim Pilg said that Beta USA is delighted to have Morgan on the team.

“She is a fierce competitor and will be a great addition to our dominating team,” Pilg said. “We will be building her a special race bike for EnduroCross based on our recently introduced CrossTrainer. We want to show that the bike is capable and with Morgan at the controls we all feel this combination will be tough to beat.”

Tanke will debut the CrossTrainer at the first EnduroCross in 2015.
