Red Bull KTM Factory Racing has re-signed Aaron Plessinger for the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX), inclusive of the AMA Supercross Championship and Pro Motocross Championship. This latest contract extension between the pair signifies what will be a fifth-consecutive season together next year. 'The Cowboy' will race-on with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team managed by Ian Harrison, continuing what has been a successful collaboration. Plessinger will once again be READY TO RACE in the high-profile American series, equipped with the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION. With a single round remaining in Supercross 2025, fan favorite Plessinger sits sixth position in the 450SX championship standings and with five podiums to his credit. That tally is underscored by a popular second-career premier class victory at the Foxborough round in April, building momentum throughout the 17-round duration. The 29-year-old Plessinger first joined Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in 2022 and has firmly established himself as one of the sport's most popular and competitive riders both indoors and outdoors. He has finished P3 in 450MX for the past two seasons and has also scored top-five finishes in the 31-round SMX World Championship series both of those years – fifth in 2023 and fourth in 2024. In addition to his success in the United States, Plessinger has represented Team USA at the FIM Motocross of Nations (MXoN) on two occasions (2023-2024) since signing with KTM. The Ohio native's highlight came last year at Matterley Basin in the United Kingdom, where he stood second on the Nations podium as the American team's Open Class entry. Aaron Plessinger: "It means everything to me to be part of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing for 2026. I love everybody and everything about this team, it's been an awesome four years together already, and it's flying by, but we're having such a good time. We've had some really, really good results, so to have the team want to keep me around and keep going together, it's really special to me. I can't wait for what the future brings and my focus right now is to get the best results that I can with the team. To build the fanbase that we have is really special as well, because without them and their support we wouldn't be anything. It's always cool to meet our fans, to interact with the KTM Junior Supercross kids and their families at the races, and that's what dirt bikes are all about. To get people on the bikes that we ride and to become KTM riders themselves, it's why we do what we do each race weekend, to give them that added spark and interest in the sport. I'm super-excited for the remainder of this season and now into next year!" Ian Harrison – Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager: "Looking back on Aaron’s career here at KTM as we move into his fifth year with the brand next year, it's clear how much of an impact he has had. He is more than just a racer, he is an incredible competitor on the track and a huge personality off it as well. From his long hair and cowboy hat to his unique riding style, Aaron truly stands out. He is, and will continue to be, a massive part of the KTM fanbase into 2026. He brings energy, positivity, and authenticity that resonate not only with our team and the other riders, but also with fans, sponsors, and the entire racing series. He's had another incredible season this year after a rough start, showing grit and determination, achieving five podiums and consistent top-five finishes so far, including a victory in Foxborough. We’re proud of who he is and even prouder to have him on our team. His influence extends far beyond results – his connection with people, both inside and outside the paddock, ensures he will be remembered and appreciated for years to come. He is truly one of a kind, and we are excited that Aaron has signed a contract extension for 2026 to continue racing for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing family."

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Manuel Lettenbichler is READY TO RACE the 2025 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship. After another standout season in 2024, the reigning champ is back to defend his crown and hunt down a fourth straight world title. Fully recovered from the injury that ruled him out of SuperEnduro, the German ace is back at 100 percent and ready to go all-in across the seven-round series, as well as taking on iconic extreme events like the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo and Red Bull Romaniacs.

A sixth victory of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship season tonight in Denver has enabled Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Chase Sexton to climb to within nine points of the 450SX points lead with a single round remaining in the series. In 250SX West, Julien Beaumer returned to the podium in what was a well-earned second-place finish. Sexton charged to the fastest qualifying time onboard his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION, clearing the field by over one second as he quickly acclimated to the track layout situated within the Empower Field at Mile High stadium. A convincing Heat Race victory set up the number 4 well for the Main Event, with 2023 champion Sexton wasting no time in getting to the front, racing to a decisive 10-second victory at the 16th round of the season, and capturing valuable points towards his championship aspirations. Chase Sexton: "I was pretty fired up from the first lap of the Main Event after we all got a bit close during the first rhythm lane. At that point, I just wanted to get to the lead, and I knew that I could run some good laps, so getting out front and breaking away was my goal. I made an aggressive move by my standards on [Cooper Webb], but we're both going for a championship and have a lot of respect for each other. At the same time, we both really want to win." 450SX teammate Aaron Plessinger powered his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION to the fourth-fastest qualifying time in the afternoon, before racing to a second-place finish in his Heat Race in what was his first visit to Denver. A steady ride by ‘The Cowboy’ in the Main Event saw Plessinger commence the race in P5, which is a position he would hold throughout the duration of the encounter, with a welcomed top-five performance the end result. Aaron Plessinger: "This was my first time in Denver, and it was tough! I had an exceptional qualifying, but after that, I struggled. If you know me, I'm more of a soft dirt kind of guy, so the conditions here were challenging. I still got a top-five out of it, so I can't really ask for a whole lot more – we're here and in the fight with the team, we turned the season around, and have one to go in Salt Lake." Equipped with the KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION, Beaumer arrived in Colorado with a laser-focused mentality, posting the fastest time in combined qualifying, before an early race fall in his Heat Race saw the number 23 move up the order from 16th to sixth position. A mid-field start saw Beaumer’s work cut out for him in the 250SX West Main Event, however, a determined ride saw the teenager charge his way through the field, relentlessly pursuing the front as he eventually finished in a well-earned second place. He's currently P3 in the standings entering next week's finale. Julien Beaumer: "I had a chip on my shoulder coming here in Denver. It's been a rough couple of weeks for me, and I felt like what I was doing during the week just wasn't translating. I had to come out tonight and perform, and I think I did that. Taking that beating in Philly made me realize that I needed to look at myself in the mirror and figure something out... We went to work after that."
