Tim Apolle Joins Max Gerston For The 2026 EnduroCross Season

The 2026 AMA EnduroCross Championship is set to begin October 3 in Las Vegas, with Beta USA returning with Max Gerston and Tim Apolle. Gerston will compete in his 18th consecutive EnduroCross season aboard the Beta RR 300 Race, while Apolle again returns to the Beta USA team. The six round championship will visit Nevada, Idaho, Washington, and Utah before concluding with a two night finale in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Gerston finished sixth in the 2025 EnduroCross championship and returns for another season with Beta. He has spent the off-season racing and training, including a third consecutive victory at the 2026 Tecate Enduro. Gerston will once again race the Beta RR 300 Race, with the bike receiving several small updates for the 2026 season. He will also continue working with mentor Rodney Smith as he prepares for another EnduroCross campaign.

Apolle finished seventh in the 2025 EnduroCross championship and returns to the U.S. for another season with Beta USA. The German rider recorded Top 5 finishes in Oregon and Reno last season and will look to build on that experience in 2026. After training in California during the off-season, Apolle is ready to begin the championship in Las Vegas. Beta USA will look to build on last year’s results as Gerston and Apolle take on the six round 2026 AMA EnduroCross Championship.

Max Gerston

“It’s an amazing opportunity to pursue my 18th Endurocross season with Beta and I’m as fired up as ever to go racing. I’ve had a great off season and feel well prepared to tackle the series. Rodney has been an awesome mentor and I feel incredibly lucky to have him in my court for another season. Rodney’s insight is invaluable and we’ve built a lot of trust with each other throughout the seasons of racing. My RR 300 Race is similar to last year with some small changes and improvements. The 300 is an amazing bike for this type of racing. I feel prepared and confident coming into the season, I can’t wait to get the ball rolling in Vegas.”

Tim Apolle

“I’m thrilled to kick off my American racing campaign in Las Vegas, a long-time dream of mine since traveling from Germany. Continuing my relationship with Beta alongside the Beta USA team makes this opportunity incredibly special. After solid training in California, I feel fit, confident, and absolutely ready for a successful season.”
