Royal Enfield's women's rider development program, Build.Train.Race, enters its sixth year. Ten women riders in the MotoAmerica series will each build their own race-spec Continental GT 650, competing in 8 races across 4 national venues. The initiative that turns garage dreams into racetrack reality is back in motion for another year.

I want to give this a push and get the word out about this program to more people. Building your own motorcycle and riding it on the circuit — anyone starts out thinking 'maybe I can't do this.' But Royal Enfield has kept this program running for 6 years, turning that 'maybe not' into 'let's try.' I hope this kind of movement keeps spreading.

Curious if other manufacturers run this kind of ongoing development program for women riders too.

Building up their own bike before racing it — is this the kind of format where the participants change every year?

Curious how it's evolved by year 6 — would like to know what's changed since the first year.

Being in its 6th year, they must have built up plenty of operational know-how, so the program should be even more solid by now.

Six years in, they've probably got a track record of how graduates go on to do afterward — really shows the depth of the program.

'Persistence pays off' really applies here — this kind of effort has to be paying off for brand value too.

'Turning a garage dream into a track reality' — that phrase really captures what this program is all about.

The fact that it's still running in year 6 is proof this is a genuine investment, not just a one-off PR stunt.
