Kaven Benoit Joins Motosport St. Cesaire

After more than a decade with KTM Canada, three-time Canadian 250 Motocross Champion Kaven Benoit is set to take on a new role in the sport, joining the Motosport St-Césaire team for the 2027 season.

Benoit’s relationship with KTM began in 2010, and he quickly established himself as one of Canada’s top motocross talents. He captured back-to-back 250 championships in 2014 and 2015 before stepping away from professional racing in 2018. In 2024, Benoit made an impressive return to competition, adding a third Canadian championship to his résumé.

While Benoit will be taking on a new role in 2027, his passion for motocross remains stronger than ever. He will bring his experience, knowledge and dedication to Motosport St-Césaire, helping guide and develop the team’s riders throughout the season.

A NEW CHAPTER WITH COLLÈGE ST-BERNARD

One of the major projects for 2027 will be the acquisition and the development of the motocross program at Collège St-Bernard.

Benoit wants to give back to the next generation of riders by sharing the experience and knowledge he has gained throughout his career. His goal is to help young athletes develop their skills while continuing to grow and evolve the motocross program over the coming years.

For summer 2027, the program will include Yamaha motorcycle rentals and private motocross coaching sessions, giving young riders more opportunities to train, improve and develop in a structured environment.

NOT DONE WITH RACING!

Although his primary focus will be on mentoring and developing young riders, Benoit isn’t completely hanging up his racing gear.

He plans to compete in several provincial races throughout the 2027 season aboard the YZ450F and who knows… we might even see him line up at a national event!

With three Canadian championships and years of experience at the highest level of Canadian motocross, Kaven Benoit has plenty to offer the next generation.

His arrival at Motosport St-Césaire represents much more than a new team partnership. It’s an opportunity to give back to the sport, develop future champions and help shape the next generation of Canadian motocross.
