The Swedish Motocross Championship (Swedish: Svenska Mästerskapen i Motocross abbreviated to MXSM) is the premier domestic Swedish Motocross series, sanctioned by the Svenska Motorcykel- och Snöskoterförbundet.

The series runs annually throughout the spring and summer months. The premier classes are MX1 and MX2, which are supported at each round by classes for junior, youth and women riders.

History

[edit | edit source]

The Swedish Motocross Championship has existed since 1951. As the country was at the forefront of the sport in its early days, international stars such as Bill Nilsson, Rolf Tibblin and Torsten Hallman took multiple titles.[1] World Champions such as Håkan Andersson, Håkan Carlqvist and Marcus Hansson also experienced periods of dominance within their respective classes.

Mats Nilsson and Filip Bengtsson are the joint most successful riders, with eight national titles apiece.

The classes within the championship have evolved over time, in line with what has been seen in the sport around the world.

Event Format
