The SR75 Suzuki Team is absolutely BUZZIN’ to announce that French Supercross superstar Charles Lefrancois will be racing under the SR75 Suzuki banner in 2026 aboard the legendary Suzuki RM-Z450.
The programme brings together a rider and team who already share plenty of history, success and awesome memories, making this an exciting next chapter for everyone involved. With support from Suzuki Bikes UK and Suzuki France, the partnership further strengthens the SR75 Suzuki presence at the highest level of European Supercross competition. The collaboration is with both SR75 team partners and Charles’ own personal sponsors.
Charles needs little introduction. A multiple race winner and championship contender throughout his career, he has established himself as one of the most exciting and respected Supercross riders in Europe. His impressive riding style, incredible speed and never-give-up attitude have made him a favourite with fans wherever he races.
Over the years, Charles and the SR75 Suzuki crew have enjoyed some incredible success together, celebrating race wins, podiums and unforgettable nights of Supercross action. The relationship has always been built on a shared passion for racing, having fun and pushing to compete at the very highest level.
SR75 Suzuki Team owner Geoff Walker said:
“We’re absolutely stoked to have Charles riding with SR75 Suzuki again for 2026. We’ve shared some epic moments together over the years and he’s always been somebody we love working with. Charles is one of the most naturally talented Supercross riders out there. His speed, racecraft and passion for the sport are incredible to watch and we know exactly what he’s capable of on a Suzuki RM-Z450.
It’s awesome to have the support of Suzuki Bikes UK and Suzuki France behind the programme as well. We all share the same goal of seeing Suzuki competing at the front and putting on a show for the fans. Most importantly, we’re looking forward to having some fun, going racing and seeing what magic Charlie can produce in 2026.”
As always, a massive thank you goes to everyone involved in the SR75 Suzuki journey. Our partners, supporters, friends and fans continue to make these opportunities possible.
The 2026 season is coming… and it’s going to be AWESOME. 🤘🔥🏁
