Harley-Davidson announced new details around its Bagger World Cup at EICMA 2025, revealing the series’ official logo, debuting a prototype race bike, and announcing the first teams confirmed to compete in the inaugural season.

Starting in 2026, the inaugural bagger series will run alongside six MotoGP Grands Prix and will become the world’s first global racing series dedicated exclusively to high-performance Harley-Davidson baggers.

Along with the official championship logo — an evolution of the brand’s bar and shield — The Motor Company showcased at EICMA its race-prepped Road Glide. The bike is purpose-built for competition by Harley-Davidson Factory Racing and features the championship logo in its exclusive livery. Built on the brand’s Grand American Touring platform, they weigh approximately 617 lb., produce more than 200 horsepower, and will exceed 186 mph on track.

Harley-Davidson also confirmed the first teams that will join the inaugural Bagger World Cup grid. Saddlemen Racing will represent the U.S., with Joe Rascal Racing (Australia) and Cecchini Racing (Italy) rounding out the teams.

For the U.S., Saddlemen Racing is one of its most established and innovative V-twin performance programs. Led by David Echert, the team competes in MotoAmerica’s King of the Baggers and claimed the 2024 Mission Super Hooligan National Championship, earning a reputation for technical excellence, rider development, and race-winning engineering.
