Coming off a successful 2025 season, Beta USA is proud to introduce its 2026 Factory Trials Team and the Pro riders representing Beta on the TrailStoreUSA Satellite team. The upcoming campaign features a mix of returning champions, riders from previous teams moving up a class based on performance, and the return of key veterans to the squad.
This is a press release from Beta USA…
In the Pro Class, Beta will be represented by the Beta TrialStoreUSA team, with riders Josh Roper and Alex Niederer. Alex was a long-time member of the Beta Factory team and his skills on a trials bike speak for themselves. Josh Roper joined the TrialStoreUSA team for the 2026 season. Josh has won multiple NATC championships, back-to-back CTI Pro championships, and is an El Trial de España winner as well. Both will compete on the all-new Beta Sincro Factory models.
The 2026 Factory roster features a deep bench of talent across several competitive divisions built to keep that momentum rolling from the success in the previous season.
FACTORY TRIALS TEAM
Seth Vorseth, after a stellar performance winning both the East and West Expert Sportsman Championships last year, makes a jump in competition. For 2026, Vorseth will step up to the Expert class.
Abigail Buzzelli returns to the team following her dominant run as the West Women’s Sportsman Champion. She will also be moving up a class to the Women’s Pro division.
Jay Gregorowicz: After being sidelined last year due to injury, Gregorowicz makes his return to the team and NATC. His experience and smooth riding will be a major asset to the team’s overall presence.
Cole Cullins: Returning to the Expert class, Cullins is one of the strongest riders on the team and will be looking ot bounce back from an injury-shortened 2025 season.
Chris Buzzelli: A staple of the Senior ranks, Chris returns to his class, bringing veteran consistency and leadership to the pits.
Bennett Hubner: Back for another season, Hubner continues his development within the Factory program, looking to build on the technical skills displayed in 2025.
Tom Trantow: Rounding out the squad, Trantow returns to compete in the Sportsman class, ready to improve upon his results from last season
“I’m looking forward to getting the 2026 season underway,” said Ray Peters, Team Manager. “We have a very talented and motivated group. Seeing several riders move up a class is a testament to the growth of our program.”
