Dirtbag Factory Racing is back for 2026!

DFR is rolling into its second year, continuing our commitment to the roots of racing that helped build the sport we know and love today. This program is all about riding, competing, connecting with the community, and celebrating a shared passion for racing bikes.

This crew of athletes embodies that spirit. They’re passionate racers who will be competing across North America while creating a welcoming experience out of the Transition tent. Whether they’re pushing for podiums or grilling hot dogs and handing out high-fives, they bring energy and a genuine love for the sport.

The NW Cup downhill race at Dry Hill, Port Angeles, is a legendary season kick-off.

Rain or shine, they’ll be there, offering a place to hang and a good time for anyone who stops by. We’re fired up to have them representing TR. If you see them at an event, be sure to swing by the tent and say hi.
