About

MX Store

Founded in 2010 in a Burleigh Heads backyard, MX Store began as a dream among motocross enthusiasts and has rapidly grown into Australia’s largest online retailer for dirt bike gear, parts and accessories. Serving over 1.1 million customers across the country, MX Store maintains a strong Aussie identity: 100 % locally owned and operated, with headquarters, warehouse and showroom located on the Gold Coast.
Driven by three core principles- making the sport safer, making the sport more accessible and growing the sport- MX Store is built on an ethos of customer-first service. With a commitment to “Service Beyond Expectations,” they offer Australia’s broadest range of motocross products, fast delivery and seamless experiences from online search to doorstep delivery.

Their expansive warehouse adjoining the showroom enables customers to view real stock in person. At the same time, the online platform ensures fast, reliable order fulfilment nationwide, helping riders spend more time riding and less time waiting.

The

Situation

As MX Store expanded rapidly, several critical technology and operational challenges began to surface, threatening both customer experience and strategic growth.

Cybersecurity & Insurance Readiness: With rising considerations and obligations around insurer protection and compliance, MX Store needed assurance that its systems met rigorous cybersecurity standards. They required validation from experts before confidently proceeding with policy discussions.

Internal Network Limitations: impacting backend performance and overall operational efficiency.

MX Store needed a trusted IT partner that could validate a newly developed customer login feature, resolve internal network inefficiencies, and deliver security clarity while providing both operational stability and renewed confidence as they continued their mission to deliver exceptional motocross retail service.

This alignment led MX Store to engage BITS Technology Group, a trusted Gold Coast managed IT provider recognised for practical cybersecurity expertise and tailored support.
