National

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
(April 22, 2026)
– MX Sports Pro
Racing, Inc., in
association with
the SMX League,
has announced
that 5.11®,
the global
leader in Purpose-Built
Gear, will
expand its new
partnership with
the Monster
Energy SMX World
Championship
Series with
multi-year
support of the Pro
Motocross
Championship,
sanctioned by
AMA Pro Racing.
The partnership
will be anchored
by title support
of American
motocross’
legendary and
longstanding
Independence Day
tradition, the 5.11® RedBud
National from
Michigan’s
RedBud MX, which
will commence on
the 4th of July
for the 2026
season.
“We’re excited
to welcome a
globally
celebrated and
esteemed company
like 5.11 as one
of the newest
partners of the
Pro Motocross
Championship,”
said Carrie
Coombs Russell,
CEO, MX Sports
Pro Racing.
“They are a
proven brand
that produces
proven products
able to stand up
to the demands
of physically
intensive
occupations,
like those that
make up the
fabric of
American
motocross. That
makes 5.11 an
ideal choice of
workwear within
our paddock and
for our
enthusiast-driven
fanbase.”

The Southern
California-based
company was
founded in 2003,
designing
apparel,
footwear, and
gear built to
perform when it
matters most.
This approach
reflects the
brand’s ethos of
Challenge
Possible™, a
belief that
challenge isn’t
something you
avoid, it’s
something you
choose. The
brand’s unique
name was created
from the most
competitive
decimal system
used in climbing
at Yosemite
National Park
when the company
was founded,
making 5.11 born
in the outdoors
from a mindset
to overcome
challenges. Two
traits that also
align with the
spirit of the
Pro Motocross
Championship.
All 5.11
products are
renowned for
durability and
have become a
trusted choice
by a dynamic
array of
professionals,
including those
within the SMX
paddock.
Meticulously
designed to
withstand the
most demanding
environments and
perform in the
harshest
conditions, each
piece is
constructed with
purpose-driven
features like
reinforced
stitching,
weather-resistant
fabrics, and
ergonomic
designs that are
an ideal choice
for the grueling
conditions that
define Pro
Motocross. To
commemorate its
partnership,
5.11 will create
custom
limited-edition
collectible
patches for all
11 races of the
outdoor
campaign.

|
|
|
5.11 has already
been a prominent fixture
of the
Monster Energy AMA
Supercross Championship
|
|
|
Highlighting 5.11’s
first season of Pro
Motocross support will
be the entitlement of
the centerpiece of the
championship, the iconic
RedBud National.
Arguably the most
revered motocross race
in the world, the
electrifying atmosphere
surrounding the sport’s
Independence Day
celebration will reach
an all-time high this
summer, taking place the
day of America’s 250th
anniversary. The race
provides a meaningful
opportunity for 5.11 to
recognize those who
serve and the
communities that support
them, while celebrating
a shared mindset between
5.11 and motocross,
where preparation,
resilience, and showing
up under pressure define
what’s possible. This
alignment makes 5.11’s
title support of the
RedBud National a
natural fit.

“The Pro Motocross
Championship is one of
the purest expressions
of challenge there is.
It’s unpredictable, it’s
demanding, and it
requires everything from
the people who show up
to compete,” said Troy
Brown, CEO of 5.11. “At
5.11, we build gear for
people who choose that
kind of challenge in
their own lives. It’s
the mindset behind
Challenge Possible. This
partnership is about
showing up for this
community, on and off
the track, and
supporting the people
who live it every day.”
