Left hand glove signed by Hayden Gillam Heading into the 2026 season, the speedy Kentuckian returns for another grueling year of double duty, once again splitting his focus between the premier Superbike Championship and the hard-hitting King of the Baggers (KOTB) Series. The biggest storyline for Gillim this year is a high-profile manufacturer swap in the Bagger class. After a successful tenure with Harley-Davidson, Gillim is moving to Indian Motorcycle, a transition that has the entire industry watching. The move pairs one of the most adaptable riders in history with a platform he looks to return to the top of the standings, having previously secured the KOTB title in 2023. Gillim’s 2025 campaign further cemented his status as a front-runner. In the Superbike class, he piloted the Real Steel Honda CBR1000RR-R SP to a consistent 8th place overall, amassing 16 top-10 finishes. The season reached a peak at the New Jersey finale, where he secured a hard-fought 3rd-place podium, his first-career Superbike podium. Simultaneously, he remained a force in KOTB, finishing 4th in the championship with four podiums and three race wins, including a dominant two-podium weekend at New Jersey. From his roots in flat track to his 2014 AMA Pro SuperSport title and his historic dual-championship run in 2023, Gillim’s career is defined by an unmatched ability to jump between vastly different machines and win. Whether he’s leaning a Superbike at 180 mph or wrestling an Indian Bagger through the chicane, Gillim remains a relentless force and a perennial fan favorite.
