CHASE SEXTON AND RED BULL KTM OFFICIALLY PART WAYS

In 2025, Chase Sexton had struggled finding comfort on the bike. Though he did overcome this in the 2024 motocross season, 2025 just didn’t go his way. He had a few crashes that kept him off the bike at key times, missed races while recovering, and ended the year sitting out rather than forcing it. After that, he and KTM agreed to go their separate ways. He’s expected to move to Kawasaki for 2026. It’s a clean break and a chance to start over with a new bike and group around him.

Though 2025 didn’t go exactly to plan, Chase and the team did find a lot of success together.

Supercross saw the 26-year-old Illinois native finish third in the 450SX standings in 2024 and he improved to the runner-up position in 2025, falling short of the championship by only two points this season.

During the 2024 season of motocross, KTM and Chase Sexton were able to grab the win their first year together.

KTM and Sexton dominated the AMA Pro Motocross Championship in 2024, winning seven of 11 rounds en route to earning the 450MX title outdoors. Despite his title defense being cut short in 2025, this year’s highlight came via a single overall victory at Washougal.

Chase Struggled to find comfortablility at times but when things clicked he was hard to beat.

In total, Sexton won nine 450SX Main Events onboard the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION, with seven of those this year – including Anaheim 1’s high-profile opening round – making for the winningest season of his Supercross career.

A statement from Red Bull KTM: Red Bull KTM Factory Racing wishes Chase well for 2026 and beyond. Following two seasons in the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX), Red Bull KTM Factory Racing thanks Chase Sexton for the success achieved together throughout 2024 and 2025.
