The countdown is over: the 2026 FIM EnduroGP World Championship will kick off with the Italian GP (April 10–12), held for the first time in Sicily. Once again this year, Galfer, the Spanish specialist and benchmark in off-road braking systems, will be a key player in the world’s premier Enduro championship, bringing top-level technology, experience, and performance to the track. The season will then continue through Spain, Finland, Portugal, and France, before concluding in Wales in early August, promising a calendar full of challenges and surprises.
As a leader in off-road motorcycle braking systems, Galfer will support the top teams throughout the 2026 season with its brake discs and pads, ensuring maximum performance and outstanding technical support. Demonstrating this commitment, the Spanish brand will be present in the EnduroGP paddock alongside prestigious teams such as Beta Factory Enduro, Fantic Factory Racing Enduro, Sherco CH Racing, Triumph Italia Racing, Triumph Racing Factory, and Honda Racing RedMoto, providing expertise and high-performance braking solutions to tackle the most extreme challenges.
Among the season’s key contenders are ten-time World Champion Brad Freeman from Team Beta Factory Enduro and his teammate Nathan Watson, two highly experienced and talented riders aiming for victory in the E3 and E2 categories, respectively. In the Fantic Enduro Team, all eyes will be on Theo Espinasse (E3), Thibault Giraudon (Junior), and Riccardo Pasquato (Youth), while the Italian squad completes its line-up with promising young riders.
One of the most anticipated moments of the season is the return to EnduroGP of nine-time World Champion Steve Holcombe (E3), following last season’s injury, now riding a Sherco 300 2T with Team Sherco CH Racing. The multi-time champion once again confirms his trust in Galfer as a technical partner in this new chapter, alongside top-level riders such as Hamish Macdonald (E2), Antoine Magain (E1), and Julien Roussaly (E3).
Also among the standout names are the riders of the Triumph Racing Factory Team, with Jeremy Sydow and Mikael Persson, both key figures in the E1 category. In Triumph Italia Racing, Galfer will support Italian rider Morgan Lesiardo (E1) and Luca Colorio (Junior), while Honda RedMoto will field Samuele Bernardini (E1), Max Ahlin (E2), and French rider Marc-Antoine Rossi (Junior), in his first Enduro World Championship season after transitioning from motocross — all ready to shine in their respective categories.
To ensure maximum performance, Galfer equips its riders with its renowned Disc Shark® and Wave brake discs, combined with Racing G1396R sintered pads, engineered to deliver excellent braking modulation and optimal heat dissipation even under the most extreme conditions.
The Disc Shark®, thanks to their internal fins and small holes in the braking track, provide superior thermal dissipation and wear resistance, while the Wave discs, with their wave profile and grooves, ensure lightweight construction and powerful, precise braking, ideal for tackling the toughest terrains of the EnduroGP World Championship.
With the return of Brad Freeman and Steve Holcombe, and an increasingly competitive rider line-up, the 2026 EnduroGP World Championship promises to be thrilling and full of surprises. Galfer is ready to hit the track alongside its riders, aiming for maximum performance and the pursuit of new world titles and victories.
