KTM GROUP AUSTRALIA IGNITES THE NEXT WAVE OF MOTOCROSS STARS WITH THE 2026 MX65 FUTURES

KTM Group Australia is turning up the throttle for the third year running as the MX65 Futures class returns to the 2026 Australian ProMX Championship – bigger, bolder, and more exhilarating than ever.

This year, KTM, Husqvarna Motorcycles, and GASGAS once again join forces to champion the sport’s next generation, giving young riders an unmissable opportunity to showcase their talent on the national stage.

The MX65 Futures class will feature three adrenaline-charged ProMX championship rounds, including Gillman on May 10, Appin on June 14, and concluding at the season-finale Queensland Moto Park (QMP) on August 1-2.

Open to competitors on any brand of 65cc motocross machine, the MX65 Futures program delivers an elevated, factory-inspired racing experience designed to fuel ambition and sharpen competitive edge.

Each round will crown its own winner, with the 2026 MX65 Futures Champion decided in an epic showdown at Queensland Moto Park.

Riders will be immersed in a professional-level environment, including guided track walks, exclusive interactions with the KTM Racing Team and Raceline Husqvarna TDUB Racing Team, and an official MX65 Futures goodie bag, creating memories and momentum that will help elevate them to the next stage of their racing journey.

Beyond this unique on- and off-track experience, the MX65 Futures initiative provides a rare pathway for young athletes to prepare for the 2026 KTM Australian Junior Motocross Championship (AJMX), set for later this year in Shepparton, Victoria, from September 28 to October 3.

Registrations open approximately one month before each round via the official Australian ProMX website: www.auspromx.com.au.

Justin Maxwell – KTM Group Australia, Managing Director: “We are incredibly excited to feature the MX65 Futures alongside the Australian ProMX Championship for a third-consecutive year in 2026. Every champion starts with spark and our MX65 Futures is a perfect platform to experience motocross on the national stage. These young riders are the heartbeat of our sport’s future and we can’t wait to see them get behind the gates at all three events!”

Peter Doyle – Motorcycling Australia CEO: “A new season of the MX65 Futures is nearly upon us, and I can’t wait to see the riders battle it out across three rounds of the ProMX Championship. This program is not only a bedrock for developing the next generation of Australian motocross talent, but for the riders to share a paddock with their idols and fast-track their learning in a professional environment is invaluable. Thanks to the KTM Group for its ongoing support of a thrilling series.”
