2024 AUSTRALIAN SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP: Round 7

The Bend

November 8-10, 2024

After hosting the gripping season-ending round of the 2023 mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul (ASBK), The Bend will do it all again in 2024 from November 8-10.

The seventh round of the 2024 ASBK Championship will be a full-house affair, with all the classes – Alpinestars Superbike, Michelin Supersport, Supersport 300, bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup and Sureflight Superbike Masters – to conclude their seasons around the searching 4.95km international circuit.

Next year will be the third in a row where The Bend will bookmark the ASBK Championship, with the memories still fresh from the memorable 2023 event where all the classes came down to the wire.

The Bend, which was officially opened in 2018, is one of the premier circuits in the world. The 18-turn international layout used in the ASBK Championship provides massive variety – blind turns, sweeping corners, hard braking zones and areas for maximum acceleration – which is a formidable test for riders and a bonanza for spectators.

The infrastructure, corporate and spectator facilities at The Bend are second to none in Australia, which means all the off-track ASBK activities – Welcome Centre displays, fan zone, the ASBK Trade Alley, ‘Mini Moto come and try’ sessions, autograph sessions and pitlane walks – are also extremely popular.
