"Ari Factory Racing (AFR) is excited to welcome from Canada to its 2026 Factory Racing team. He joins returning star Kailey Skelton from the USA, a three-time U.S. Women's National Champion. The team is also pleased to confirm that Nikolas Nestoroff will race the full season and take on the role of Team Manager. This move helps to make AFR's competitive program even stronger, both on the track and in the pits."
"Alongside the expanded roster, Ari Factory Racing announces Fasthouse as its official gear and apparel partner for 2026. With a deep heritage and presence in both motocross and MTB, Fasthouse makes perfect sense for the team. Fasthouse now joins AFR's long-time technical partners, SRAM, RockShox, Maxxis, and DT Swiss, who continue to be the team's main sponsors for drivetrain, suspension, tires, and wheels, respectively."
"Tegan Cruz has his sights set high for 2026 and is looking forward to all the Crankworx stops, starting later this month in New Zealand. Cruz is taking a swing at chasing the prestigious King of Crankworx title, especially after earning a silver medal in 2025. For 2026, Cruz is looking at a pretty packed calendar that includes Downhill, Dual Slalom, Air DH, Pump Track, and select E-Enduro events."
