Born on 28th September 1988 in Bourg-en-Bresse, Étienne Masson started riding motorcycles at the age of five, initially concentrating on motocross before trying his hand at speed on a Honda 125 CBR in 2006.
In 2014, his move to the LMS-Suzuki Junior Team enabled him to win the Stock title in the World Endurance Championship. This performance naturally opened the doors to the Suzuki Endurance Racing Team (SERT) in 2015.
Since then he has been one of the protagonists of the discipline, with three World Championship titles in 2015, 2016 and 2020, as well as prestigious victories in the 2015 Moto 24 Hours and the 2016 and 2019 Bol d'Or. In addition to the EWC, he also made his mark in the French Superbike Championship (FSBK) from 2010 to 2013.
For 2024, Masson continues with the SERT with the firm intention of renewing his quest for the World Championship crown.
