DONE DEAL: Ken Roczen Signs Contract Extension with Suzuki Through 2026

Ken Roczen and Suzuki have officially sealed a contract extension that will keep the German motocross star with the team through the 2026 season. The announcement solidifies Roczen’s long-term future with the brand, marking another chapter in his storied career.

Roczen, a fan favorite and one of the most skilled riders in the sport, first returned to Suzuki in 2023 after previously riding for the manufacturer earlier in his career. His comeback to the yellow machine has been nothing short of impressive, showcasing consistent podium performances in both AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross. The extension ensures that he will continue to lead the team’s efforts in both disciplines, aiming for championship glory.

“I’m beyond excited to extend my partnership with Suzuki,” Roczen said in an official statement. “Since rejoining the team, I’ve felt right at home. The bike fits my style perfectly, and we’ve been making great progress. This extension gives us the stability to keep building toward our ultimate goal—winning races and championships.”

Suzuki’s leadership also expressed enthusiasm about the deal, emphasizing Roczen’s importance to their racing program. “Ken is an elite talent and a key part of our strategy moving forward,” said Chris Wheeler, Suzuki’s Motorsports Manager. “His commitment, experience, and work ethic have been invaluable, and we’re thrilled to have him on board for the long term.”

Roczen’s renewed commitment to Suzuki signals his confidence in the team’s direction and the development of the RM-Z450 platform. Over the past seasons, he has been instrumental in refining the bike, ensuring it remains competitive against rival manufacturers.

With this deal in place, Roczen and Suzuki now turn their focus to the remainder of the 2024 season and beyond. Fans can expect to see the German superstar pushing the limits as he aims to add more wins and, ultimately, another championship to his résumé.
