Royal Enfield has announced Pennsylvania native Evan Renshaw will represent the Moto Anatomy X Royal Enfield Team in 2026. Following a standout entry into the professional ranks, the 18-year-old Renshaw is poised to race the Royal Enfield Twins FT in the premier SuperTwins class.
Renshaw entered the Progressive American Flat Track ranks in 2024. His amateur pedigree is young, but decorated. In 2023, he was awarded both the AMA Athlete of the Year and AMA Nicky Hayden Flat Track Horizon Award and, in 2024, he was named the AFT Rookie of the Year. Last year, Renshaw followed up on his outstanding rookie campaign with a 2025 AFT Career 450 Podium Finish.
In 2025, Renshaw earned his first career podium after round 3 in Senoia, Georgia followed by multiple top 5 finishes throughout the 2025 season. He was on the way to a top 3 finish before an injury led to him missing the rest of the reason. Renshaw has since fully recovered and has been training at the Moto Anatomy Training Facility under the tutelage of Johnny Lewis since January.
“We’ve always been passionate about growing the sport and supporting the next generation of racers,” said Adrian Sellers, Head – Custom & Motorsport at Royal Enfield. “Taking a risk on a relative newcomer like Evan is a natural extension of our commitment to Royal Enfield rider development programs like Build. Train. Race. (BTR), the GT Cup, and our global Slide Schools. We’re looking for more than veteran experience–we are looking to invest in the next generation of racers.”
The 2026 season marks a significant transition for Renshaw as he moves from Singles to the much more powerful Twins FT. While previous team riders brought veteran experience, they also brought ingrained habits built over the years. Moto Anatomy X Royal Enfield believes that Renshaw’s youth and ambition will enable him to learn the nuances of the Twin-cylinder machine without the baggage of history.
“I couldn’t be more excited to work with Evan in this next chapter,” said Johnny Lewis, Moto Anatomy X Royal Enfield Team Manager. “He has incredible natural talent, but he’s also competitive and always willing to find ways to grow and improve. Because he’s relatively new to Twins FT, we can build his technique from the ground up. Evan is always up for a challenge so we wholeheartedly believe this will be a smooth and successful transition.”
