Billy Bolt’s 2026 Husqvarna Factory Bike

Billy Bolt Leads Husqvarna into the 2026 Hard Enduro Season

Husqvarna Factory Racing is ready to launch its 2026 hard enduro campaign with Billy Bolt leading the effort, as the British star sets his sights on a return to the top of the outdoor standings.

Now entering his ninth season with the team, Bolt will contest the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship while also taking on two of the sport’s biggest standalone races, Red Bull Erzbergrodeo and Red Bull Romaniacs, in what promises to be one of the most important seasons of his career.

Back outdoors with momentum

Bolt heads into the new campaign in strong shape after another exceptional winter indoors, where he claimed his sixth consecutive FIM SuperEnduro World Championship title. The Husqvarna rider remains one of the few athletes capable of fighting at the very front in both indoor and outdoor racing, and that versatility continues to define his profile.

Already crowned FIM Hard Enduro World Champion in 2021, Bolt came close again in 2025, finishing runner-up after a consistent season that included one overall victory and five additional podium finishes. With his focus now fully back on outdoor competition, the goal for 2026 is clear: challenge for the world title once again.

A big year ahead

The 2026 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship begins with Alestrem in France, from April 17-19, where Bolt will start his title campaign aboard the Husqvarna TE 300.

Alongside the championship, he will also line up at Red Bull Erzbergrodeo in Austria from June 4-7 and Red Bull Romaniacs in Romania from July 28 to August 1, with the British rider still chasing a first victory at both iconic events.

Bolt ready for the fight

Billy Bolt said:

“It’s been a few years since I’ve entered an outdoor season fully healthy and prepared, so it’s nice to be starting on the right foot. It’s been a busy off-season off the bike with becoming a father, but I’m very happy with how much time I’ve had on the bike and feeling good to go this weekend.”

A fresh shot at the title

With fitness, form, and confidence all on his side, Billy Bolt starts the 2026 outdoor season in one of his strongest positions in recent years. Husqvarna knows exactly what he can do indoors — now the challenge is to turn that same dominance into another hard enduro world title.
