Too many wheels, but some people may find this interesting.....

QuoteMINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- After covering nearly 5,000 kilometers (3,045 miles) across 13 grueling stages, Polaris' RZR Factory Racing program, in partnership with LOEB FrayMédia Motorsport (LFM), again dominated the Side-by-Side (SSV) class with a third consecutive overall victory at the 48th running of the 2026 Dakar Rally. In their second showing at the event, the all-American duo of Brock Heger and navigator Max Eddy Jr. returned to the Saudi Arabian desert and once again delivered a masterclass in precision and endurance, earning their second consecutive class win behind the wheel of the dominant Polaris RZR Pro R Rally race machine, designed to meet the new FIA rule changes.


Widely regarded as the most demanding race in the world, this year's Dakar saw Heger and Eddy lead nearly the entire 13-stage event, ultimately claiming victory by over an hour. In only his second showing at the event, Heger once again delivered a historic performance, securing an unprecedented six stage victories, including the prologue. In addition, Heger finished on the podium two more times, earned two additional top-five results, and only finished outside the top five just four times throughout the entire event. Adding to Polaris' remarkable performance, SLR teammate and 2024 SSV champion Xavier de Soultrait, also piloting a RZR Pro R Rally, rounded out the podium with a third-place overall finish.

"Coming back to Dakar for my second year and being able to win again is absolutely incredible, and I could not be more grateful for Polaris, LFM and our entire crew," said Brock Heger. "This race pushes you in every possible way, and to come out on top again is something I'm really proud of. Max and I work seamlessly together. His navigation was spot on from start to finish, and that trust and communication between us made all the difference over two demanding weeks. The RZR Pro R Rally performed flawlessly every single day. It's a machine that's truly unmatched, and it just keeps getting better and better. Having a vehicle you can trust completely at Dakar is everything, and Polaris delivered exactly that."



Heger made an immediate statement for the second consecutive year by winning the prologue, securing a critical advantage heading into Stage 1. When the competition officially kicked off, teammate Xavier de Soultrait showcased his experience as the reigning 2024 Dakar winner, driving flawlessly to claim the Stage 1 victory and take the early overall lead. De Soultrait continued his strong run in Stage 2 with a second-place finish, while Heger placed fifth, maintaining De Soultrait's advantage in the standings. From Stage 3 onward, Heger and Eddy shifted into command, capturing back-to-back stage wins to seize the overall lead. From that point forward, the duo never looked back, methodically guiding their Polaris RZR Pro R Rally through the unforgiving Saudi Arabian desert. Heger went on to claim additional stage victories in Stages 8, 10, and 11, while adding a third-place finish in Stage 5 and a fourth-place result in Stage 7, cementing a commanding and consistent performance from start to finish.



The standout performance underscored the precision engineering of the Polaris RZR Pro R Rally, which delivered the reliability, power, and agility required to conquer Dakar's treacherous terrain. When the dust settled, Heger and Eddy completed the marathon rally in 55 hours, 11 minutes, and 56 seconds, more than four hours faster than last year's winning time.





With new FIA regulations in place for the SSV class, Polaris engineered the RZR Pro R Rally to meet stringent homologation requirements while preserving the race-winning performance and durability that define the platform. Built around a largely stock-based chassis and bodywork, the vehicle retains key production RZR Pro R components, including the engine, driveline, and suspension, highlighting the inherent strength of the consumer platform. Enhanced suspension control and precise handling allow the RZR Pro R Rally to conquer the harshest terrain mile after mile, delivering the reliability, endurance, and performance required to secure victory in the world's most demanding rally conditions.

"To kick off the new year with a third consecutive Dakar Rally victory is truly an incredible achievement for both Polaris and Loeb FrayMedia Motorsport," said Alex Scheuerell, Polaris' Director of Off-Road Motorsports. "This partnership has been the recipe for dominance at Dakar, and to come away victorious again is incredibly rewarding. Because of the new rule changes in the SSV class, the team spent countless days and nights over the past year refining and evolving our platform. Seeing Brock and Max deliver another virtually flawless performance, along with Xavier securing a third-place finish on the podium, is a true testament to that hard work. They overcame some of the most intense conditions imaginable, and I can't thank everyone at Polaris and LFM enough for the dedication and effort that made this victory possible."



In addition to Heger's victory and De Soultrait's third-place finish, the crew of Johan Kristoffersson and navigator Ola Fløene delivered a strong performance behind the wheel of the RZR Pro R Factory T4, finishing eighth overall in Kristoffersson's first Dakar Rally appearance. The duo recorded three podium stage finishes along with an additional top-five result. Florent Vayssade's rally was highlighted by a second-place finish in Stage 2, while young driver Gonçalo Guerreiro and navigator Maykel Justo put together an impressive and consistent run, earning one stage victory, two podium finishes, and three additional top-five stage results before being forced to retire following Stage 8 after a collision with another racer.



Collectively, these performances showcased the depth, strength, and unity of the Polaris and Loeb FrayMédia Motorsports, reinforcing their dominance at one of the most demanding motorsport events in the world.

National rollout begins at the Vancouver Motorcycle Show -- Jan. 16–18, Tradex Abbotsford

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 14, 2026 /CNW/ - We are proud to announce the official Canadian launch of E Ride Pro, the rapidly expanding electric enduro platform redefining off-road power, engineering, and rider performance.

With the brand now entering Canada, Joule Motorcycles is actively seeking qualified dealers to join one of the fastest accelerating product lines in the segment.



Why E Ride Pro Dealers Are Winning

E Ride Pro is not another incremental entry in the electric dirt-bike category--it is a purpose-built electric enduro platform engineered to outperform its peers, offering tangible advantages that dealers and riders can immediately see and feel.

1. The Innovation Behind E Ride Pro's Rapid Rise

E Ride Pro's rapid rise is driven not just by the adoption of cutting-edge technology used by its predecessors, but by the brand's forward-thinking application of unconventional engineering solutions that enhance power delivery, rider control, and overall stability.

Among the superior power and speed and more than twenty proprietary innovations, two illustrate the technical leadership and ingenuity:

    Variable regenerative braking, allowing tuning from gentle assist to strong deceleration, giving riders improved stability, traction, and finesse over changing terrain.

    A self-cleaning belt-drive pulley, replacing heavy multi-gear transmissions full of bearings and oil.

    This breakthrough delivers smoother torque, far lower maintenance, higher drivetrain efficiency, and exceptional reliability--especially in mud, dust, sand, and snow.

The result is a product line that naturally fits beginners to intermediates to aggressive freestyle and high-speed off-road riders, expanding the potential customer pool for dealerships.

2. Explosive Sales Momentum -- Proven Before Canada Arrives

Over the past two years, E Ride Pro sales surpassed past well-established electric dirt-bike brands in the United States, capturing market share at a pace rarely seen in the powersports sector.

Now, with Canadian riders demanding more capability, more range, and more durability, the same trajectory is expected north of the border.

Dealers entering now stand to secure prime territories--with the advantage of joining the category while demand is rising, not peaking.

3. Confidence for Dealers -- Inventory, Parts, Training & Marketing Secured

Joule Motorcycles backs its dealers with real operational support

    Canada-based inventory for fast delivery
    Extensive parts supply stored locally
    Technical training and troubleshooting assistance
    Marketing assets, digital promotion, and event support
    Experienced team with 20+ years of EV motorcycle distribution and support

With full stock and spare parts in Vancouver, dealers can sell with confidence, knowing riders will not be waiting weeks--or months--for components, warranties, or repairs.

Early Dealer Opportunities Available

Joule Motorcycles will begin territory assignments in 2026, with the first dealers to be selected following the Vancouver Motorcycle Show at Tradex, January 16–18.

High-potential regions include:

    Lower Mainland & Vancouver Island
    Interior BC & Alberta
    Prairie Provinces
    Quebec & Ontario performance markets

Posted on behalf of Latus Motors Racing

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (January 15, 2026) – Latus Motors Racing is pleased to announce that Kody Kopp will return to competition for the 2026 Progressive American Flat Track season, making his debut in the Mission AFT SuperTwins class aboard the Harley-Davidson XG750R.

A former three-time AFT Singles champion and the winningest rider in AFT Singles history, Kopp returns to the Progressive AFT paddock following a year away from the series spent competing in professional road racing.

The Mica, Washington, native will step into the sport's premier class for the first time in his career, marking a new chapter for both Kopp and Latus Motors as the team takes on Mission AFT SuperTwins competition.

Kopp and the Latus Motors Harley-Davidson XG750R are scheduled to make their Mission AFT SuperTwins debut at the Royal Enfield Short Track at Daytona, March 5–6, opening the 2026 Progressive American Flat Track season.

Kody Kopp – Latus Motors Racing:

"I am extremely excited for 2026 and grateful for this opportunity to compete in the premier class of American Flat Track. I felt very comfortable from my first few laps aboard the XG750R, and that feeling has only progressed since. I am confident that as a team, we will be prepared to kick off the 2026 season in strong fashion at Daytona!"

Team Owner George Latus:

"The team is super excited to have Kody as our rider for the season. I've had the privilege of working with the Kopp family for over two decades, both when Joe was actively campaigning and now as Kody continues his career on the Harley-Davidson XG750R. I'm personally honored to have Dave Zanotti and Michelle DiSalvo continuing with us, along with Chris Carr, Joe Kopp, and a very supportive group of sponsors. As Kody's sister, Karly, once said about why she liked our team: 'They just want to go fast and have a blast.' We'll do exactly that in 2026."

Mission Foods, the world's leading brand for tortillas and wraps, has been a cornerstone supporter of Progressive American Flat Track since the partnership began in 2021. Through its steadfast commitment, Mission Foods has been instrumental in elevating the series' national profile and expanding audience awareness across the sport.

In addition to its sponsorship of Progressive American Flat Track, Mission Foods has actively supported several innovative initiatives aimed at increasing fan engagement. This commitment to the sport is set to continue throughout the 2026 season.

Mission Foods returns as the title sponsor for the premier Mission AFT SuperTwins class and as the Official Tortilla, Chip, and Salsa of Progressive American Flat Track. The renewed partnership also includes the return of the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge and the season-ending Mission Foods Awards Party, while continuing the brand's high-profile role as the title sponsor of the Mission Triple Challenge, which debuted in 2025 at select events, for the Mission AFT SuperTwins.

"We are very proud to continue our partnership with American Flat Track as the title sponsor of the SuperTwins class, the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge, and the Mission Triple Challenge," said Juan Gonzalez, Mission Foods Chief Executive Officer. "These platforms give Mission a meaningful way to connect with racing fans and help create unforgettable moments on the track."

The Mission Triple Challenge format brings an exciting shakeup to three high-stakes events throughout the year, beginning with the season opener at the Daytona International Speedway Flat Track. The Mission Triple Challenge turns up the heat with three races of escalating intensity and challenge points to determine each event's ultimate victor. The three Mission Triple Challenge events will be the Royal Enfield Short Track at DAYTONA II, Lima Half-Mile I, and Springfield Mile I.

Mission Foods has established these events as the most lucrative on the calendar by offering increased prize money through an escalating bonus structure. Winners of the Mission Triple Challenge will take home $2,500 for Race 1 and $5,000 for Race 2, totaling $7,500 in incentives alone before heading into the third and final race of the event. By the time the final race begins, the potential for a massive payday has already reached a fever pitch, cementing these events as appointment viewing.

At all other rounds, Mission Foods will keep the intensity high with the most exciting four laps in all of flat track thanks to the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty Challenge. Four qualifying Mission SuperTwins riders will leave it all out on the track in a winner-takes-all, no-points, four-lap shootout, with the winner taking home $5,000. That makes the Mission Foods #2Fast2Tasty Challenge one of the highest challenge-specific payouts in all of dirt track racing.

Mission Foods remains committed to growing the sport's audience through widespread fan activations and retail marketing. By featuring branded athletes on grocery store displays across the country, Mission Foods ensures that Progressive American Flat Track maintains a high-profile presence both at the track and in the national marketplace.

The 2026 Progressive American Flat Track season will launch with the Royal Enfield Short Track at DAYTONA I & II at Daytona International Speedway on Thursday, March 5 and Friday, March 6.
