Slickwhips & Natalie Kane: A Comeback Worth Backing

Slickwhips & Natalie Kane: A Comeback Worth Backing

After a few quiet years away from the racing spotlight, Natalie Kane is gearing up for a powerful return to the track - and we at Slickwhips couldn’t be more proud to stand behind her as an official sponsor for the upcoming race season.

Natalie is no stranger to grit. A fierce competitor on the European motocross scene, her last active years (2017–2019) saw her battling at the top level while juggling a full-time job, sponsorship outreach, her own training, and even mechanical work on her bikes. But in late 2019, during a Swedish competition, a serious injury - broken wrist and dislocated shoulder - forced her off the bike and into surgery and recovery. Life took a different turn for a while, and the racing world had to wait.

Fast forward to 2025: Natalie is making her comeback. With a renewed sense of purpose and a growing family, she’s not just returning to the sport - she’s bringing a story of resilience, evolution, and fire.

“I’ve missed this for a long time,” Natalie says. “Even back then, I felt like I had more to give—and I still do. Now it’s about proving it, not just to others, but to myself.”

While motherhood may shape the start of her season, it won’t stop her. Natalie is training under Lukas Högberg Coaching, laying the foundation for a full racing year. Her goals for 2025 include competing in both the Swedish Championship and the European Championship, with an eye on podiums and progress. This season marks a rebuilding phase - but Natalie is in it with 100% commitment.

At Slickwhips, we’re driven by passion, perseverance, and performance - values Natalie embodies to the fullest. Her comeback story is one we believe in. It’s not just about racing - it’s about legacy, determination, and the love of the sport.

We’re excited to support her comeback journey, and we can’t wait to see what the season holds.

Welcome to the team, Natalie - Let’s go racing!
