Tsubaki join EnduroGP as Junior Enduro class title sponsor

Tsubaki, motorcycle chains manufacturer, are set to become the official title sponsor of the FIM Junior Enduro World Championship for the 2026 EnduroGP season.

Prime Stadium Events, promoters of the Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship, are pleased to announce that renowned Japanese motorcycle chain manufacturer Tsubaki will pledge their support to EnduroGP through the Tsubaki FIM Junior Enduro World Championship.

Founded in 1917 in Japan, Tsubaki began over 100 years ago as a bicycle chain manufacturing company. However, Tsubaki shifted its business completely in less than 10 years, and wanted to accomplish more challenging work by producing more sophisticated chains for machinery.

Tsubaki kept improving its technology and ideas, and developed new chains one after another. Currently, Tsubaki manufactures more than 20,000 types of mostly industrial chain. Their motorcycle chain line-up was recently simplified to just five main series, with the MXE series as the enduro chain. The Tsubaki 520 MXE chain is also the one used by the KR69 WET Team in EnduroGP.

Now, for 2026, the Japanese manufacturer will strengthen its support in EnduroGP as title sponsor of the Tsubaki FIM Junior Enduro World Championship.

The seven-round Paulo Duarte FIM EnduroGP World Championship begins in Sicily, Italy, on 10-12 April.

Raoul van Oosterwijck — Tsubaki, Motorcycle Department Manager: “We look forward to joining EnduroGP as the title sponsor of the FIM Junior Enduro World Championship. EnduroGP is the pinnacle of off-road competition and is a true test of endurance and mechanical efficiency. Competitors race such a wide variety of terrain throughout the season, so this alone is something that speaks to us a lot. We are pleased to begin this journey in EnduroGP and eagerly await the opening round of the season in Italy.”

Carla Alvarenga — Prime Stadium Events, Managing Director: “We are pleased to welcome Tsubaki to the EnduroGP paddock for 2026. They are a manufacturer that is steeped in motorcycle heritage, with a name and reputation that speaks for itself. By strengthening their ties in enduro and off-road with us, we believe we can help increase the visibility of the brand while building a long-lasting partnership.”
