The Arizona rider earned his first career 250SX victory during the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship and finished second in the Western Division standings. His 2026 season took a difficult turn when a serious back injury forced him to miss the entire Supercross season. Beaumer returned for the outdoor championship, however, and has put together an impressive comeback campaign.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"isselectedend\">\"I'm really stoked to announce that I've extended my contract with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing,\" Beaumer said. \"I can't thank them enough for the belief and hard work they put in \u2013 these last three years have been amazing and I couldn't be happier to be with the group of people that I'm with. Let's win some races and fight for some championships! That's the goal.\"<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"isselectedend\">Currently sitting third in the 250MX championship, Beaumer scored his first career overall victory at the Spring Creek National, further establishing himself as one of the leading young riders in the class. Under the new agreement, Beaumer will enter his fourth season with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in 2027. He will continue competing across the SMX World Championship, including the AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross Championships, aboard the KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION.<\/p>","excerpt":"<p class=\"isselectedend\">Julien Beaumer will remain with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing for the foreseeable future after the team announced a multi-year &hellip;<\/p>","date":"August 21, 2026 10:13","categories":[{"id":25047609,"title":"Moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[{"id":25049479,"title":"Julien Beaumer","slug":"julien-beaumer"},{"id":25047678,"title":"ktm","slug":"ktm"},{"id":25049958,"title":"KTM Factory Edition","slug":"ktm-factory-edition"},{"id":25047675,"title":"moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047764,"title":"mx","slug":"mx"},{"id":25048503,"title":"orange","slug":"orange"},{"id":25049375,"title":"smx","slug":"smx"},{"id":25048919,"title":"supermotocross","slug":"supermotocross"},{"id":25047987,"title":"SX","slug":"sx"}]},{"id":3679,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2021\/10\/25\/aaron-plessinger-joins-ktm\/","title":"Aaron Plessinger Joins KTM","content":"Aaron Plessinger has signed a two-year deal to ride for KTM.
