This is a press release from KTM…
Since joining KTM’s factory program in 2024, Beaumer has emerged as one of the most exciting young riders in the sport. The 20-year-old broke through for a first-career 250SX victory in the AMA Supercross Championship last year on his way to second in the Western Divisional standings.
Despite a serious back injury ruling him out of Supercross in 2026, ‘Juju’ has made a remarkable return to competition outdoors and is currently positioned third in the 250MX championship after winning his maiden overall at the Spring Creek National.
In a multi-year agreement, Beaumer will enter his fourth season with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in 2027, targeting title success across the SMX World Championship—including the AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross Championships—equipped with the KTM 250 SX-F Factory Edition.
Julien Beaumer:”I’m really stoked to announce that I’ve extended my contract with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. I can’t thank them enough for the belief and hard work they put in—these last three years have been amazing and I couldn’t be happier to be with the group of people that I’m with. Let’s win some races and fight for some championships! That’s the goal.”
Ian Harrison, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager:”Julien is one of the younger riders on our team, but with this contract extension he’ll become one of the veterans of our program. We couldn’t be prouder of the growth Julien has shown. He has demonstrated that even during challenging times, he can make smart decisions, stay focused on improvement, and continue working to become a better racer. We’ve all seen the tremendous progress he has made throughout the 2026 Pro Motocross season, both on and off the track. I have no doubt that Julien will continue to develop his racecraft and reach new levels in the years ahead. His future is incredibly bright, and we’re grateful for the trust he has placed in our team. We look forward to continuing to build on this success together.”
