SLR Honda Extends Deal With Mayla Herrick

Ryan Nitzen | October 7, 2026

The SLR Honda team has extended their relationship with WMX standout, Mayla Herrick. Herrick turned pro on her 17th birthday earlier this summer at the High Point National and shook things up right away with a holeshot and a wire-to-wire win in the first moto. She grabbed two overall podiums in this year’s Women’s Motocross Championship (Unadilla and Ironman) and also scored a Women’s title at the Loretta Lynn’s Amateur Championship. The team announced she’ll remain on a red ride alongside teammate Mikayla Nielsen for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
