Red Bull KTM Factory Racing
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing is KTM North America's works SuperMotocross program — the U.S. flagship of KTM's global racing operation, fielding factory machinery in both the 450 and 250 classes.
Behind the team
Team story
The U.S. Red Bull KTM program has built its American identity through championship-winning riders including Ryan Dungey, Ken Roczen, Marvin Musquin, Cooper Webb and Chase Sexton. Its history spans the premier class and the regional 250 championships, with a development pathway connecting international talent to American racing.
KTM fields 450 SX-F and 250 SX-F machinery. Jorge Prado's 2026 SMX title added another chapter to that record, while the next season brings new riders into both programs. The organization remains one factory operation, with separate 450 and 250 rosters.
