Aaron Plessinger has signed a two-year agreement with 5.11 Triumph Factory Racing to race the TF 450-X in AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross in 2027 and 2028, the team announced Sept. 30. \u201cWe all want the same thing, which is to win races and fight for championships, and I\u2019m excited to be part of that journey,\u201d Plessinger said.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16754\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"1024\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-16754\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2027-Rider-Moves_Barcia.jpg\" alt=\"Justin Barcia smiling with hands on hips in a Twisted Tea Suzuki jersey under a cloudy sky\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/> Justin Barcia returns to Suzuki with Pipes Motorsports Group for 2027.

He will make his Suzuki debut at the season opener on Jan. 9 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_16755\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"1024\"]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-16755\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/2027-Rider-Moves_Nichols.jpg\" alt=\"Colt Nichols in a ROKiT Partzilla cap and team polo in the PRMX Yamaha workshop\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/> Colt Nichols in Team ROKiT Partzilla PRMX Yamaha colors.

Team ROKiT Partzilla PRMX Yamaha announced Oct. 27 that he will race a YZ450F in the 450 class for 2027.\r\n\r\nThe 250 class is getting a shake-up too. Avery Long has joined Phoenix Racing Honda for 2027 and will race a CRF250R in the 250SX East Region, making his team debut at Tampa. Husqvarna Mobility confirmed Oct. 29 that AEO Powersports and Toyota Redlands BarX will run independently operated Husqvarna FC 250 programs, with Carson Mumford returning at AEO and Lux Turner returning at BarX. BarX also signed Enzo Temmerman for 2027.\r\n\r\nThose deals join earlier 2027 moves that sent Cooper Webb to Team Tedder Husqvarna, RJ Hampshire to Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati and Malcolm Stewart to Monster Energy Kawasaki. The new colors make their official debut when the 2027 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship opens at Anaheim 1 on Jan. 9.","excerpt":"<p>The 2027 silly season is in full swing, and three veteran 450 riders headline the latest wave of official moves. &hellip;<\/p>","date":"November 12, 2026 05:58","categories":[{"id":25047609,"title":"Moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[{"id":25048086,"title":"aaron plessinger","slug":"aaron-plessinger"},{"id":25048004,"title":"colt nichols","slug":"colt-nichols"},{"id":25048214,"title":"husqvarna","slug":"husqvarna"},{"id":25047981,"title":"justin barcia","slug":"justin-barcia"},{"id":25050048,"title":"silly season","slug":"silly-season"},{"id":25049375,"title":"smx","slug":"smx"},{"id":25047620,"title":"supercross","slug":"supercross"},{"id":25048260,"title":"suzuki","slug":"suzuki"},{"id":25049476,"title":"Triumph","slug":"triumph"},{"id":25047984,"title":"yamaha","slug":"yamaha"}]}]{
