Word on the streets is the AEO team will not be getting the KTM/Husqvarna help next year. What color do you think we will see them on in 2027?

AEO is a KTM group, Kawi and Triumph dealer, so one of those.

Is it possible for multiple teams to get the Husky factory stuff? 

The Shop

The Husky stuff isnt free right?  The teams would possibly get the right to buy it?

From what I’m understanding, factory support and leasing is what they’re offering teams going forward.

Chase from Swap moto said bar x would also get to house their team out of the KTM race shop. So that’s a big plus too, but I don’t think they would be able to offer that to more than one team.

Sorry, Kris wasn’t accurate there.

AEO has a signed contract in hand to switch to Husqvarna next year. Both themselves and BarX will be factory supported programs (AEO has been prior as KTM, but their deal is a bit better now).

AEO is already in-house at KTM’s US headquarters, BarX will be moving into the building too.

Mumford will be staying.

Lineup will likely be two to three 250 pros, an amateur/Futures kid (Brody Moss), and a WMX rider.

That would definitely seem like a natural fit though.

Hopefully Mumford can carry these solid finishes into SX next year, he’s been impressive outdoors, getting quite a few 7ths.
