Apollino Racing Team Rider Ken Ken Captures Historic 2025 AMA USSE Championship
Young Chinese rider Neisen Zhang dominates US Sprint Enduro series with six victories in seven rounds
HANGZHOU, China, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollino (Zhejiang Apollo Sports Technology Co., Ltd.) today announced that racing team rider Neisen Zhang (Ken Ken) has secured the 2025 AMA US Sprint Enduro (USSE) championship, demonstrating the growing presence of Chinese youth in American motorsports and showcasing the effectiveness of Apollino's youth development programs.
The USSE, based on International Six Days Enduro regulations, serves as a premier talent development platform and the official U.S. national team selection series. Unlike traditional trail racing, USSE emphasizes explosive sprint performance across individual tests, delivering exceptional spectacle and challenge within the AMA framework.
Consistent Performance Across Challenging Season
The 2025 season spanned six months from January 18 to June 15, crossing multiple U.S. states. Competitors faced 12 tests per two-day event, with cumulative fastest times determining overall winners. Despite weather cancellations reducing the planned 84 tests to 80, Ken demonstrated remarkable consistency throughout the demanding campaign.
Ken dominated the seven-round series with six victories and one runner-up finish, earning the coveted No.1 championship medal. His performance proved impressive given his simultaneous participation in three major series—AMA USSE, AMA NEPG, and AMA GNCC—achieving 15 victories across 19 races in 2025.
Technical Skill and Determination Earn Recognition
Racing challenging mountain and ranch terrain often complicated by adverse weather, Ken's technical development and competitive spirit impressed organizers, competitors, and spectators alike. His success represents promising progress for young Chinese riders competing internationally.
"Ken's championship shows what's possible when young talent meets the right support," said an Apollino Racing representative. "His ability to compete across multiple racing disciplines while maintaining championship-level performance demonstrates exceptional dedication for a youth athlete."
