5.11 to Sponsor Pro Motocross Championship, Highlighting Iconic RedBud National
5.11 Tactical, established in 2003, has entered a partnership with the Pro Motocross Championship. Known for their durable apparel, footwear, and gear, 5.11’s ethos, “Challenge Possible™,” mirrors the competitive spirit of the motocross community. The brand’s name is derived from the highest difficulty rating in climbing at Yosemite National Park, reinforcing their commitment to overcoming challenges.
With products designed for harsh conditions—featuring reinforced stitching, weather-resistant fabrics, and ergonomic designs—5.11 aims to enhance the performance of riders and teams in the demanding environment of the SMX paddock. To commemorate this partnership, 5.11 will create limited-edition collectible patches for each of the 11 races in the outdoor series.
A focal point of 5.11’s involvement will be its title sponsorship of the RedBud National on July 4, 2026, coinciding with America’s 250th anniversary. Recognized as one of the sport’s most prestigious events, the race is a prime platform for 5.11 to honor communities and individuals dedicated to service, while also celebrating the resilience and preparation embodied by both the brand and motocross.
Troy Brown, CEO of 5.11, noted, “The Pro Motocross Championship is one of the purest expressions of challenge. It’s unpredictable, it’s demanding, and it requires everything from those who compete. This partnership is about showing up for this community and supporting the individuals who embrace it daily.”
The Pro Motocross Championship, part of the Monster Energy SMX World Championship Series, kicks off its 2026 season on May 30 in Southern California, featuring an 11-race lineup at some of the sport’s most iconic tracks.
