Ken Roczen Extends Partnership with Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki for 2026 SuperMotocross Season
Brea, CA – October 2, 2025 – Suzuki Motor USA, LLC and Pipes Motorsports Group are thrilled to announce that Ken Roczen will continue with the Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki team aboard the RM-Z450 for the 2026 SuperMotocross season.
One of the most popular and talented riders in the sport, Roczen enters 2026 with fresh motivation and high expectations. Over the past three years, he has built a strong foundation with the Suzuki program and now looks to return at full strength, chasing wins and championship points from the opening round.
In 2025, Roczen reminded fans why he’s considered one of the sport’s greats. He held the red plate as the championship leader, delivered consistent podiums, and scored one of the most iconic wins of the season at the Daytona Supercross, widely regarded as one of the toughest events on the calendar.
“I’m excited to sign another year with the team,” said Roczen. “We’ve built a solid foundation over the last few years, and I feel like that’s when the best results come. We have a lot up our sleeve for 2026, and I’m looking forward to continuing this relationship.”
Suzuki leadership echoed the excitement:
“Re-signing Ken Roczen was an easy decision,” said Chris Wheeler, Motorsports Manager at Suzuki Motor USA. “He led the points last year, won at Daytona, and continues to push our program forward. The ultimate goal remains a championship, and we’re building toward that together.”
Team Principal Dustin Pipes added:
“We’re very excited to have Ken back for what will be our fourth year together. We’ve already enjoyed great success and want to keep building on it. We’d love to see Ken finish his career on a yellow Suzuki motorcycle.”
Roczen remains a cornerstone of the Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki effort, backed by a proven RM-Z450 and a veteran team. With a strong off-season plan, fans can expect to see him return to the line ready to fight for victories from day one.
The journey begins when the 2026 SuperMotocross season kicks off January 10th at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.
