Ducati North America and Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law are thrilled to reveal that Cameron Beaubier, the reigning MotoAmerica Superbike Champion and six-time national titleholder, will be competing in the 2026 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship aboard the all-new Ducati Panigale V4 R.
This marks a significant moment for Ducati's U.S. racing program, as it reunites one of America's most accomplished riders with the latest generation of Ducati's premier Superbike. With this partnership, Ducati continues to showcase its growing success in MotoAmerica, following multiple race wins and podiums since its return to the Superbike class.
The team will return to a two-rider lineup for 2026, with Beaubier joining Benjamin Smith, who made his MotoAmerica Superbike class debut in 2023 and has been competing in Supersport since 2018. This addition to the team is a strategic move, as Beaubier's talent and experience, combined with the performance of the new V4 R, are expected to drive the team towards another championship.
Speaking about the partnership, Bobby Shek, Team Manager, Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law, said, "We're thrilled to welcome Cameron to the team and look forward to the results we will get together. With his talent and experience, combined with the performance of the new V4 R, we’re confident we can fight for another championship from day one."
Beaubier, who captured the 2025 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship, is eager to embark on a new chapter with the factory-supported Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law Panigale V4 R. He expressed his excitement, saying, "I’m really excited to join the Warhorse HSBK Ducati Flo4Law and to race the new Panigale V4 R. I’ve watched what Ducati has accomplished globally in Superbike and MotoGP, and I can’t wait to bring that same performance and passion to the American championship."
The partnership is a testament to Ducati's commitment to success in MotoAmerica. With advanced electronics, improved chassis dynamics, and engine updates developed from Ducati's MotoGP and WorldSBK race programs, the all-new 2026 Panigale V4 R is set to dominate the track. As Beaubier prepares for his initial testing with the Panigale V4 R at Portimao on January 28–29, the racing world eagerly awaits the team's performance in the upcoming season.
Jason Chinnock, CEO, Ducati North America, emphasized the significance of Beaubier's addition, stating, "Cameron’s record speaks for itself — he’s a proven champion and a true professional who embodies Ducati’s competitive spirit. His experience and precision will be key as we compete to secure the Superbike championship for Ducati."
