Leatt Moto Australia (distributed by Whites Powersports) are excited to announce that their partnership with 2025 AEC Outright Champion Daniel Milner and his KTM factory backed DM31 Racing team is entering its third consecutive year in 2026!
DM31 Racing continues with 2025 AEC E3 Champion Korey McMahon who displayed exceptional talent throughout the year as well as putting on a clinic and taking the WIN at the Hattah Desert Race earlier in the year.
2025 AEC E1 Champion Jonte Reynders, who showed his class dominance with a near clean sweep, is parting ways with the team as it heads in a new direction. The team at Leatt and Whites thank Jonte for his outstanding efforts and results this past year and we look forward to crossing paths again in the future.
With big boots to fill, Jackson Versteegan joins the DM31 team in E1, following dominant performances in selected rounds of the AEC in under 19s, as well as Hattah. With Jackson stepping up to the E1 class we look forward to watching him develop and grow into one of Australia’s best.
Additionally, Jye Dickson, will be joining the team and replacing Daniel’s spot in the E2 class. With a 2025 round win, already, plus an E3 AORC title in 2024, we are excited to help Jye to continue and expand on his successes.
And let’s not forget Daniel himself — Australia’s most crowned off-road rider. He’s stepping back from fulltime racing, retiring with a record that will take some beating.
Dan’s focus shifts to managing the team and ensuring they have all they need to focus on racing and defending their phenomenal 2025 results. Dan will throw a leg over a bike from time to time at key events in the AEC, ProMX and others where he can have some fun and give the young bucks a run for their money.
“Daniel, Korey, Jonte and the entire DM31crew have been great to work with in 2025, they not only captured podiums, championships and records but they are bloody good buggers too,” said Luke Mason — Group Marketing Manager for Whites Powersports.
“Moving into a third year goes to show the great working relationship that’s been established between Whites/Leatt and the DM31 team, in addition to that the extremely positive feedback from DM31 riders about Leatt’s products highlights its quality and performance is truly industry leading”
“We’re pumped that we’ll be working together again and believe it is only the beginning of an epic partnership.” continued Mason.
“I am excited to continue the Leatt partnership into 2026 after having such success with the brand, already. As a rider at the top level, it is important to feel comfortable and safe in the gear that you wear. We are continually impressed by the quality and safety of the products that Leatt provide. They are constantly improving and developing the technologies to keep us supported as we push the boundaries of this sport and racing,” said Daniel Milner.
