As of May 2025, there is official confirmation that Ken Roczen is moving to Ducati for the 2026 season. Currently, Roczen is under contract with Suzuki, having re-signed with the Progressive Insurance Ecstar Suzuki team for the 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship season. This marks his third consecutive year with the team, competing on the Suzuki RM-Z450.
In addition to his commitment to Suzuki, Roczen has also extended his involvement with the World Supercross Championship (WSX), confirming his participation until 2025. This dual commitment underscores his focus on both the AMA Supercross and the global WSX series.
While there have been speculative reports about Roczen’s future moves, including potential involvement with new racing formats like the Electric Supercross League (ESL), none have been substantiated with official announcements. The ESL, founded in 2024, aims to push the sport into a more sustainable and futuristic direction, and Roczen’s interest in such innovations aligns with his history of embracing new challenges.
Regarding Ducati, there have been no credible reports linking Roczen to the Italian manufacturer for the 2026 season. Ducati has been expanding its presence in various motorsport disciplines, but any association with Roczen remains speculative at this point.
In summary, as of now, Ken Roczen remains committed to Suzuki for the 2025 season, with no confirmed plans to switch to Ducati in 2026. Fans and industry observers will need to wait for official announcements to learn about any future changes in Roczen’s racing career.
