Haiden Deegan to the 450 Class in 2026

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing is proud to confirm a multi-year deal with Haiden Deegan that will see the reigning 250SMX and Pro Motocross Champion make his long-anticipated debut aboard the YZ450F in 2026.

After a decorated run in the 250 class—including back-to-back SMX titles, the 2024 Pro Motocross crown, and the 2025 250SX West Championship—Deegan will begin his 450 journey under the factory tent with a final 250SX title campaign before stepping up full-time for Pro Motocross and the SMX World Championship Finals.
