As the brand celebrates 125 years of uninterrupted motorcycle production, Royal Enfield is set to amplify its impact on AFT's biggest stages, honoring its heritage while pushing into a new era of American flat track competition.   BTR Returns for its 7th Season: Bigger, Faster, and Coast-to-Coast   Back for its seventh year in the spotlight, Royal Enfield's BUILD.TRAIN.RACE.

"And a big part of that has been thanks to the fun we have in flat track racing. Whether it's seeing the future of racing out there on track with the women of BUILD.TRAIN.RACE. or pushing the Twins FT to its limits in SuperTwins, we're very excited to be back and looking forward to another exceptional year of racing."   Royal Enfield's commitment to developing competitive flat track machinery, highlighted by the evolution of the Twins FT platform, demonstrates the brand's long-term vision for racing in North America. Combined with the BTR program's rider development pipeline, the partnership stands as one of the most dynamic and fan-forward initiatives in the sport.   A Milestone Worth Twisting the Grip For   As Royal Enfield honors 125 years of motorcycling (longer than any manufacturer on earth) Progressive AFT fans can expect special on-site activations, merchandise, storytelling features, and expanded engagement throughout the 2026 season.   From the garage to the grandstands, from new riders to longtime diehards, this is a celebration tailored for the entire flat track family.   Tickets On Sale Now for the 2026 DAYTONA Short Track Doubleheader   Kick off the season and Royal Enfield's 125th anniversary year where the action never lets up: under the lights at Daytona.   Get your tickets HERE.   For more information on Progressive American Flat Track, visit AmericanFlatTrack.com.
