    What is a sports tourer?

    The title of Sports Tourer is often given to motorcycles that allow you to ride for longer distances than Supersports but, have some essence of sportiness. At KTM, a Sports Tourer is a motorcycle that lets you push as hard as you can, slide into corners, and blast out of them! All of this while covering bigger distances than would otherwise be possible on a Supersport!

    ELI TOMAC AND RED BULL KTM RECLAIM 450SX RED PLATE AFTER DETROIT TOP-FIVE

    View Profile
    A measured top-five finish at Round 11 of the 2026 AMA Supercross Championship saw Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Eli Tomac reclaim the 450SX red plate tonight in Detroit, opening a four-point advantage exiting Ford Field. Tomac qualified ninth on the 450SX combined timesheets as he familiarized himself with the technical track layout, before racing his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION to a third-place result in the opening premier class Heat Race. The 33-year-old then completed the first lap of the Main Event in eighth position, before steadily climbing into the top-five. Maintaining consistency on the deteriorating surface, Tomac secured fifth place and a valuable haul of championship points. Former two-time champion Tomac now leads the 450SX standings on 229 points, as the SMX World Championship series heads to The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri, next weekend. Eli Tomac: “I knew I was going to take advantage of [Hunter Lawrence’s crash] once I saw that he was a lap down, but overall it was a bit of a frustrating day here. I have actually struggled here with my last couple of rides, so I don’t know what it is – I just haven't had the best success at Detroit lately and maybe I’ve been in a bit of a mid-season slump. So, we’ll do what we can to get better and improve, and try to get back to winning some races and getting closer to the front.” Spanish four-time world champion Jorge Prado recorded the 11th-fastest qualifying time in Detroit aboard his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION, before earning a direct transfer to the Main Event with a P5 score in his Heat Race. In holeshotting the Main Event, the 25-year-old ran strongly at the front of the field during the opening laps, before unfortunately going down in an incident with another rider. Prado recovered to 13th position by race’s end, again demonstrating front-running potential in the Motor City. Prado currently sits ninth in the 450SX championship standings as he continues to build experience and added confidence in Supercross during the 2026 season with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. Jorge Prado: “Detroit Supercross was a bit of a rough day! The Heat Race was actually not too bad. At the end of it, I found a good rhythm and was feeling good. In the Main Event, I had a super-good start – I got the holeshot, which was my main goal – and then I wanted to stay up front for as long as possible. Kenny [Roczen] passed me on, I think Lap 3, and then once he passed me, I really tried to stick with him, but another rider ended up taking me out and we both crashed. That impacted my rhythm from there, so we have some work to do – as always – but I am putting in maximum effort with my training and racing, so hopefully it'll pay off soon. We're taking a lot of this year's Supercross championship as experience for next year, so it's good that these things happen now so when we're fighting up front in the coming years, we can be prepared and ready. It's part of the process – we'll learn and continue to get faster." Next Race: April 4 – St. Louis, Missouri Results 450SX Class – Detroit 1. Ken Roczen (Suzuki) 2. Chase Sexton (Kawasaki) 3.
