The Motocross World Championship, known as MXGP since 2014, started in 1957 and is one of the hardest and most physical motorsports in the world. KTM's history in MXGP began in the 1970s and ever since Red Bull KTM Factory Racing has been a dominant team. 15 MX2 titles have been won with the KTM 250 SX-F and 8 MXGP championships with the KTM 450 SX-F and KTM 350 SX-F since 2010. For 2025, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing boasts an impressive six rider line-up in the MXGP and MX2 divisions. 5-time World Champion, Jeffrey Herlings and newbie Lucas Coenen will lead the brand on the KTM 450 SX-F in MXGP, while Andrea Adamo, Sacha Coenen, Simon Längenfelder and Marc Antoine-Rossi will be READY TO RACE for top positions on the KTM 250 SX-F in MX2. The MXGP schedule includes 20 rounds in 15 countries, ending in October with the FIM Motocross of Nations. For 2025 the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing North American wing will enter as defending champions in AMA Supercross and Motocross racing.

The SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) is the premier dirt bike racing series in the United States, uniting the 17-round AMA Supercross Championship and the 11-round AMA Pro Motocross Championship under one banner. The season culminates with the SMX Playoffs and Finals in September, where the best riders from both disciplines battle for the ultimate title. From January to May, Supercross takes place inside iconic MLB and NFL stadiums across North America, featuring unique formats such as the Triple Crown. The action then moves outdoors for Pro Motocross during the summer months, showcasing the 450MX and 250MX divisions across some of the toughest natural tracks in the country. KTM’s legacy in SMX competition is defined by success, claiming eight AMA Supercross Championships — four each with the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION and KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION — along with four AMA Pro Motocross titles across the 450 (3) and 250 (1) classes. For 2026, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing fields an elite line-up in both Supercross and Pro Motocross. Leading the team is six-time SX and MX Champion Eli Tomac, joined by four-time MXGP/MX2 World Champion Jorge Prado and Aaron Plessinger aboard the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION. In the 250 class, 2025 250SX West runner-up Julien Beaumer will aim for the top step of the podium on the KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION.
