DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(December 9, 2026) —
One of motorcycling’s most
storied brands is charging into
its 125th anniversary year with
the throttle wide open.
Royal Enfield, a name
woven into the fabric of
two-wheeled history, will return
as a major partner of
Progressive AFT for the
2026 season, building on the
momentum of its successful
collaboration with the series
and its growing presence within
the flat track paddock.
This announcement follows Royal
Enfield’s previously confirmed
role as entitlement partner of
the 2026 Daytona Short
Track Doubleheader,
where the season launches with
two nights of bar-to-bar
intensity at DAYTONA
Short Track I & II. As
the brand celebrates 125
years of uninterrupted
motorcycle production,
Royal Enfield is set to amplify
its impact on AFT’s biggest
stages, honoring its heritage
while pushing into a new era of
American flat track competition.
BTR Returns for its 7th

Coast-to-Coast
Back for its seventh year in the

Enfield’s BUILD.TRAIN.RACE.

unmistakable spirit of Royal
Enfield.
A Partnership Built on
Heritage and High Performance
“As we hit 125 years, we are
feeling younger than ever!” said
Adrian Sellers, Head of
Custom & Motorsport at Royal
Enfield. “And a big
part of that has been thanks to
the fun we have in flat track
racing. Whether it’s seeing the
future of racing out there on
track with the women of
BUILD.TRAIN.RACE. or pushing the
Twins FT to its limits in
SuperTwins, we’re very excited
to be back and looking forward
to another exceptional year of
racing.”
Royal Enfield’s commitment to
developing competitive flat
track machinery, highlighted by
the evolution of the
Twins FT platform,
demonstrates the brand’s
long-term vision for racing in
North America. Combined with the
BTR program’s rider development
pipeline, the partnership stands
as one of the most dynamic and
fan-forward initiatives in the
sport.
