Brandon Paasch

Brandon Paasch returns to the MotoAmerica Superbike grid in 2026, rejoining the M4 ECSTAR Suzuki squad with a renewed sense of purpose. The New Jersey native will pilot the GSX-R1000R, which features a stunning 40th-anniversary livery in classic Suzuki blue-and-white. After a 2025 season that saw him campaigning in Supersport and King of the Baggers, Paasch is back on a liter-bike, citing significant “life experience” and off-season training as the catalysts for his most focused title assault yet.

Paasch first commanded international attention by winning back-to-back Daytona 200 titles (2021–2022), including a legendary 2022 victory decided by a mere .007 seconds. His resume is remarkably diverse; he is a former MotoAmerica KTM RC Cup Champion and British MotoStar Champion, with experience ranging from Moto3 in Spain to the high-speed corners of Oulton Park—his favorite circuit.

With 33 career MotoAmerica podiums across three classes, Paasch is no longer the “young gun” but a seasoned professional. “I am hungrier for success than I have ever been,” Paasch noted, confident that the refined Suzuki package will allow him to fight for the podium consistently in 2026.

Little Known Fact: Brandon calls Aleix Espargaro his racing hero. Says his favorite track is Oulton Park in England. Brandon’s Instagram has some incredible footage of him riding Supermoto with tremendous skill.
