Royal Enfield - B.T.R. and 125th Anniversary
Royal Enfield is one of motorcycling's most storied brands, and it is "charging into its 125th anniversary year with the throttle wide open."
Returning as a major partner of Progressive AFT for the 2026 season, the Indian manufacturer (as in, India the country!) says it will be 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, with its BTR (Build.Train.Race.) women racers program return for a 7th season - "Bigger, Faster, and Coast-to-Coast."
"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."
