Harley-Davidson has announced an expanded schedule for the 2027 FIM Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup, which will feature eight rounds and 16 races across seven countries during its second season.
The championship will again run alongside MotoGP, opening at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, April 23-25, and concluding at Portimao, Portugal, October 1-3. Three new venues have been added for 2027: Le Mans, France; Barcelona, Spain; and Portimao.
Five teams have confirmed plans to compete, with a provisional entry list totaling 11 motorcycles. Joe Rascal, Saddlemen Race Development and Niti Racing will each field three bikes, while Kyle Wyman Racing and Mad Monkey/Tobacco Road Harley-Davidson will enter one each. Rider announcements are expected in the coming weeks.
The 2027 race bikes will receive several technical updates, including a claimed 2-3 percent increase in horsepower and a higher 7200-rpm rev limit, up from 7000 rpm. Other changes include an improved gearbox and quickshifter, revised suspension with increased adjustability, a redesigned swingarm and active tire-pressure monitoring. New aerodynamic bodywork and ergonomic improvements are also under development.
Dynojet has become the championship’s presenting sponsor, while Dunlop returns as the official tire supplier. All motorcycle upgrades will be available to competing teams.CN
