The JPM 360 Developments Team will become the official Kawasaki supported MX2/MXW program in 2026 across both the ProMX Championship and the AUSX Championship, with the new partnership solidified today.
For the Gold Coast based team running under the JPM MX Developments infrastructure, this marks a monumental step forward following the former Privateer team's inaugural year of operation in 2025.
Previously JPM had a line-up of Haruki Yokoyama in MX2 and Jet Alsop in MX3 in ProMX, the team secured their first Overall win with Jet Alsop at Round 7 at Toowoomba, along with racking up several podiums and top privateer efforts from Yokoyama in MX2.
In AUSX, a switch to support SX3 Supercross specialist Deegan Rose saw more success and a road to growing the team platform in 2026.
JPM MX Developments owner Jed Parsons commented on the new relationship with Kawasaki Australia;
“We set out at the start of this year to put a program together to help Jet and Haruki along with getting our feet wet running a race team. Balancing the commitment to our JPM MX Developments workshop customers whilst running a professional race team was no easy task but we created a strong unit within the team that allowed our riders to excel and get results”.
“At the end of ProMX we began talks with Kawasaki Australia as the Empire team were committed to being a 450 only program in 2026 and the opportunity was there for us to have Kawasaki Support in MX2 if we could put a solid business plan together, which we were able to achieve with the help of our title sponsor 360 Developments.”
As the official Kawasaki MX2 program, the JPM 360 Developments Kawasaki Team will field a duo of MX2 riders, along with housing the Kawasaki supported MXW Women’s class riders in 2026.
The JPM 360 Developments Kawasaki team look forward to announcing rider signings in the coming weeks as the team prepares for the 2026 ProMX Championship Opener at Wonthaggi in March.
