Reigning MX2 FIM Motocross World Champion, Simon Laengenfelder, has inked a fresh deal with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing to remain in orange for 2027.
The German claimed the 2025 MX2 title at the final round in Australia and now bids to become the first back-to-back champion in the class for Red Bull KTM since 2019. Laengenfelder will attack the MX2 division again with the works KTM 250 SX-F and with teammate Sacha Coenen also pushing for honors.
Simon, 21 years old, has grown with the KTM Motorsport department since his first full-time MX2 season in Grand Prix in 2021. He seized his first victory in Great Britain for the opening round of 2022 and achieved a top three championship finish. Simon then went on to contend for top honors at the peak of the category in 2023 and 2024 (with two more top-three rankings) before sealing the #1 plate in 2025.
Simon Laengenfelder, MX2. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing: “I’m excited to head into another chapter. It has already been quite a few years with KTM support and now another new challenge for this year and the next. For sure it will be exciting and we’re looking forward to start 2026 to see where we are.”
