RACE Promotions List

30 January 2026

Over the past several seasons, NSORRA has worked hard to maintain a strong and balanced composition of race classes. By adding new classes and completing rider promotions, we aim to ensure a fair, competitive, and equitable series for all participants. Our Race Directors carefully evaluate each class and assess rider ability throughout the season. When participation in a class is high, more top riders are promoted; when class numbers are lower, fewer promotions are made. This approach helps preserve close racing and meaningful competition across the series.

As always, riders know their own abilities best. We encourage riders to honestly evaluate their skills in relation to their peers and consider moving up to a higher class, not only to ensure fair competition, but also to challenge themselves and continue to grow as riders.

NEW CLASS

In recognition of the steadily increasing skill level of our riders, we are excited to introduce a new Pro Class for 2026. This class is open to top riders, as well as anyone ready to push their limits and take on an added challenge. Pro riders can expect Le Mans–style race starts, more technical and demanding trail sections, and sponsored podiums featuring cash prizes.

With these factors in mind, and based on podium finishes from the 2025 season, we are pleased to present the
