As the 2026 Monster Energy® SMX World Championship™ series begins, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki enters the year with a refreshed structure behind the scenes, reinforcing its commitment to performance, development, and long-term success. Known as one of the most accomplished teams in the sport, the team continues to evolve its internal program to meet the demands of an increasingly competitive field.

During the offseason, the team implemented several strategic adjustments across its crew, refining roles and bringing in new personnel to strengthen key areas of the program. Several familiar faces transitioned into new positions, while others moved on to new opportunities, prompting a series of calculated changes designed to enhance race-day efficiency, rider support, and overall team cohesion.

Among the updates, Drew Adams welcomes mechanic Andrew Collogan, who previously worked on another Kawasaki team. Adams 2025 mechanic, Alex Faith, starts the new season working with Levi Kitchen. McAdoo also sees a new pairing for 2026, with Jed Parrish stepping into his mechanic role. Parrish previously worked with Garrett Marchbanks in 2025 before Marchbanks moved to the 450 program. While Jacob Martin continues in his role as Seth Hammaker’s practice mechanic in Florida, he also begins working as Drew Adams’ practice mechanic. The team believes these new partnerships will provide the best fit for all riders moving forward.

Additional organizational adjustments were made to support the race operations. The team brought on Gavin Custer as a support mechanic to help with testing during the week and assist on race weekends. The team also strengthens its technical crew by promoting Jake LaForm from in-house suspension support to full-time race team suspension technician.

The 2026 lineup reflects a renewed focus on both performance and progression, pairing experienced leadership with fresh perspectives to support the team’s roster of elite and emerging riders. While the faces and responsibilities within the truck may look different this season, the team’s foundation remains unchanged: a relentless pursuit of excellence and a commitment to developing championship contenders. The off-season restructuring positions Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki to build momentum throughout the SMX World Championship calendar and continue its legacy as one of the most successful programs in the sport.
