'The King of the Baggers series has had my attention since it began...'
Loris Baz has been through several Championships throughout his career as a professional motorcycle racer.
During his career, Baz has competed in British Superbikes, World Superbikes, MotoGP and most recently MotoAmerica.
However, the 2025 season will see the Frenchman take on a brand new challenge. Baz will join the King of the Baggers Championship with the Indian Motorcycle S&S Cycle factory team.
“The King of the Baggers series has had my attention since it began, and to be a part of it as a member of the legendary Indian Motorcycle Wrecking Crew is truly an honour,” said Baz.
“Racing Superbike, I’ve seen first-hand what Troy [Herfoss] and Tyler [O'Hara] have accomplished aboard the S&S Indian Challenger, and I’m thrilled to be joining this championship team as we chase another title together in 2025.”
Gary Gray, Vice President of Product Technology, Racing, and Service for Indian Motorcycle said: “Loris Baz is a proven winner, with experience at the highest levels of global road racing, but with critical experience in MotoAmerica and the tracks we run throughout the season.
"He’s been impressive on the Indian Challenger in our early testing sessions, and we’re excited by the notion of now having three amazing riders aboard the Indian Challenger at every race this season as we collectively chase another championship.”
The MotoGP veteran will complete a powerful line-up and will ride alongside the 2024 King of the Baggers Champion, Troy Herfoss, and two-time King of the Baggers Champion, Tyler O'Hara.
