Bold claim: FXR Racing has secured a premier talent for 2026 by signing Garrett Marchbanks, signaling a strategic push to the top of AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross. But here's where it gets controversial: can one rider redefine a program’s trajectory across both indoor and outdoor seasons while aligning with a factory team’s high-performance expectations? This expanded rewrite preserves every essential detail while enriching clarity, context, and accessibility for beginners.
FXR Racing is announcing the addition of Garrett Marchbanks to its 2026 racing lineup, marking a major step in FXR’s growing roster of elite-class competitors. Marchbanks, returning to the 450 class, will compete aboard the factory Monster Energy Kawasaki KX450 across the full slate of races. The season includes the 28 regular-season rounds of the indoor stadium Monster Energy AMA Supercross, followed by the outdoor Pro Motocross season sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, and culminates with the post-season SMX Playoffs and World Championship Final.
Marchbanks has earned a reputation as one of the sport’s fittest riders, noted for his impressive come-from-behind speed and his ability to weave through traffic on the track. With multiple podium finishes and standout performances in recent seasons, the Utah native is widely regarded as one of the most durable and versatile riders in the field.
“I’m excited to be back with FXR Racing for 2026,” Marchbanks stated. “Their gear is top-notch—comfortable, durable, and tailored for the demands at this level. Partnering with a brand that’s committed to the sport, understands its pressures, and continuously pushes innovation is a huge win for me. I’m eager to reveal some of the exciting initiatives we have planned with FXR Racing this year.”
FXR Racing Director of Moto, Andy White, commented, “Garrett brings the perfect blend of talent, professionalism, and championship potential. We’re thrilled to have him in FXR gear for 2026. His speed and tenacity on the track are undeniable, and we’re ready to support him as he tackles the new season with Monster Energy Kawasaki.”
Marchbanks is slated to debut his 2026 FXR kit during preseason testing, ahead of the season kickoff of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship.
