Indian Motorcycle Unveils Its New Wrecking Crew for 2025

Indian Motorcycle is embarking on an exciting new chapter in its rich racing legacy by introducing an expanded lineup for the 2025 MOTOAMERICA® King of the Baggers® series. The iconic Wrecking Crew, known for its storied history in American motorcycle racing, is set to feature a talented trio of riders, including French MotoGP® veteran Loris Baz, who will join reigning champion Troy Herfoss and two-time champion Tyler O'Hara.

As the Wrecking Crew gears up for the upcoming season, they will compete aboard the powerful SS® Indian Challenger, equipped with the cutting-edge PowerPlus motor, known for its exceptional performance characteristics. This new chapter comes on the heels of a remarkable season in 2024, during which Herfoss made significant strides, solidifying his reputation as a formidable racer on the track.

Gary Gray, Vice President of Product Technology, Racing, and Service for Indian Motorcycle, emphasized the importance of the Wrecking Crew to the brand's identity: "The Wrecking Crew has long been a cornerstone of our brand, synonymous with the racing DNA that has been a part of our company since it was founded by two racers back in 1901, and we're thrilled to continue that historic legacy with our factory team in the King of the Baggers series."

With Loris Baz's proven track record in high-level racing and experience in MotoAmerica, Indian Motorcycle hopes to harness his competitive spirit and skill to contribute to the team's success. Baz expressed his excitement about joining the legendary Wrecking Crew: "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 honor."

The full lineup for the 2025 Indian Motorcycle-SS® Cycle factory team includes:

• - Troy Herfoss, No. 1: Returning to defend his championship title, Herfoss boasts an impressive record from the previous season, where he secured seven wins and numerous podium finishes.
• - Tyler O'Hara, No. 29: A stalwart of the team, O'Hara's extensive experience in bagger racing makes him a fierce competitor, having won two titles in past seasons.
• - Loris Baz, No. 76: A versatile rider with a history of success across various racing disciplines, Baz adds a new dynamic to the Wrecking Crew.

In addition to its factory efforts, Indian Motorcycle will support two satellite teams in the 2025 season, further emphasizing their commitment to growing the sport and supporting privateer racers. The company has allocated over $80,000 in incentives to encourage participation and competition at various levels.

As the anticipation builds for the start of the season on March 6 at the Daytona International Speedway, Indian Motorcycle continues to innovate and push boundaries in the world of motorcycle racing. The addition of Loris Baz and the collective experience of the team represent the brand's ongoing dedication to excellence and performance in the chasing of another championship.
