Women now account for roughly 19% of motorcycle owners in the US, rising to 26% among Millennials and 22% among Gen X — the industry's fastest-growing segment. In 2026, Royal Enfield's rider-development race series 'Build.Train.Race' returns across 4 MotoAmerica rounds out of 8 total, with 10 women building and racing their own Continental GT 650s. The Women Riders World Relay has also relaunched on a new digital platform.

I'm a racing guy, so the Build.Train.Race story lights me up. Ten women building their own Continental GT 650 and racing all 8 rounds on the MotoAmerica stage — with pro coaching, this is serious development. Gender doesn't matter, from corner entry to exit, whoever's fast is fast. New talent joining the grid simply warms my heart.
