Julien Beaumer Bio
Julien Beaumer (born May 12, 2006) is an American professional motocross and supercross racer. He has competed in the AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross Championships since 2023, riding for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team. In 2025, Beaumer earned his first professional supercross victory in the 250SX West class at San Diego and finished the season as the runner-up in the championship standings. Racing under car number 23, Beaumer is widely regarded as one of the most promising young talents in American dirt-bike racing.
Early Life and Background
Julien Beaumer was born on May 12, 2006, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, in the United States. Growing up in the desert Southwest gave him early access to wide-open riding terrain and a year-round calendar of off-road events. His father worked as a jet ski mechanic, and the family spent much of its time around engines and watercraft.
Because of his father’s career, Beaumer began competing in jet ski racing at a very young age, racing personal watercraft alongside his early motocross efforts. The combination of speed, balance, and mechanical understanding picked up on the water helped shape his comfort on two wheels. Friends and family have described his childhood as a busy mix of school, training, and weekend competition.
Beaumer’s first taste of national attention came on a 50cc motorcycle. At the 2014 Las Vegas Supercross, he won the KTM Junior exhibition race, signalling his potential to the wider American motocross community. He continued moving up through the amateur ranks in the years that followed, balancing school with a growing travel schedule.
Path to Motocross and Supercross
Beaumer steadily climbed the amateur ladder in American motocross. In 2021, he won the 450 B Limited class at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship, his only amateur national title. The following season, he added the Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C class at the Mini O’s event in Florida, one of the most important amateur races in the country.
He began the 2023 season in the 250SX Futures class, a support series that runs alongside selected rounds of the AMA Supercross Championship. Riding for the EBR Racing Yamaha team, he qualified on pole at the opening round. Strong early results earned him a mid-season move to KTM’s official amateur programme, the Orange Brigade, where he responded with back-to-back 250SX Futures wins at Glendale, Arizona, and East Rutherford.
Towards the end of 2023, KTM offered Beaumer the chance to make his professional debut in the final two rounds of the 2023 AMA National Motocross Championship. He finished ninth overall in his first professional outing, securing a top-ten result on debut and confirming his place on the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing roster on a multi-year deal.
Julien Beaumer Career
Early Career (2023)
Beaumer’s professional debut came in the closing rounds of the 2023 AMA National Motocross Championship. Racing for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, he adapted quickly to the professional level and finished inside the top ten in his first event. The experience was short but important, giving him a clear picture of the speed and depth required at the top of the sport.
Earlier that same year, his amateur campaign in the 250SX Futures class had already turned heads. After switching from EBR Racing Yamaha to KTM’s Orange Brigade, he won consecutive rounds at Glendale and East Rutherford, results that helped justify KTM’s decision to promote him to the factory team for the outdoor national series.
250SX and AMA Motocross Breakthrough (2024)
With a multi-year factory KTM contract in hand, Beaumer moved into the 250SX West class of the 2024 AMA Supercross Championship. He finished sixth on his supercross debut and ended the season seventh in the final standings, a strong first full indoor campaign for a teenager. The results showed that his amateur speed could translate to the longer, more technical supercross tracks.
Beaumer stayed consistent through the 2024 AMA National Motocross Championship, finishing eleventh in the final 250 standings, with two sixth overall moto finishes as his best results. The summer built his experience on the outdoor circuit, where ruts, heat, and longer motos reward fitness and patience.
His first professional podium came during the season-ending 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship playoffs. At the opening round, he finished second overall, confirming he could compete for top honours on the sport’s biggest combined stage. That podium set the tone for his 2025 supercross season.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Era (2025)
Beaumer’s 2025 AMA Supercross Championship season opened with his first professional supercross podium, a second-place finish behind Jo Shimoda at round one. One week later, he took his first professional supercross victory at round two in San Diego, taking over the 250SX West points lead in the process. The win made him the championship leader and signalled that he was ready to battle for the title.
He held the red plate for two more rounds before a season-long fight with Haiden Deegan and Cole Davies saw him slip to second. Beaumer finished the 2025 250SX West championship as the runner-up, his best professional result to that point. He then carried that form into the 2025 AMA National Motocross Championship, posting fourth and fifth overall in the opening two rounds, his best outdoor results of his career.
A crash at the fourth round led to lingering issues that forced him to miss rounds seven and eight. After returning for a fifth overall at the penultimate round, he suffered a heavy crash in the season finale that left him with a concussion. He was cleared in time for the SuperMotocross World Championship playoffs, but a heavy qualifying crash at the opening event left him with three fractured vertebrae and a lengthy recovery ahead.
Driving Style and Strengths
Beaumer is known for his smooth, controlled style on technical tracks. His early years on jet skis helped build the balance and corner-speed that translate directly to supercross whoops and rutted outdoor sections. Working with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing crew, he has steadily improved his starts and his ability to manage long motos, two areas that define success at the professional level.
Notable Races and Milestones
Beaumer’s signature moments include his first professional supercross win at San Diego in 2025, his first professional podium at the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship opener, and his 2021 AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship title. Each result has marked a clear step forward in his development as a factory rider.

AMA Supercross and Motocross Highlights
In 250SX West competition, Beaumer scored his first professional win at the 2025 San Diego round, the same season in which he finished runner-up to Haiden Deegan. Earlier, in 2024, he had finished seventh in the 250SX West final standings during his rookie supercross campaign.
In AMA National Motocross action, he has notched multiple top-five overall finishes, including fourth and fifth overall at the opening two rounds of the 2025 outdoor series. His best earlier outdoor result was a pair of sixth overall finishes during the 2024 season, when he ended the year eleventh in points.
Other Wins and Performances

He also took back-to-back 250SX Futures wins at Glendale and East Rutherford in 2023, results that helped earn him a place on the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team.
Julien Beaumer Family
Family Background and Racing Lineage
Beaumer’s introduction to racing came through his father’s work as a jet ski mechanic, which gave him early access to engines, watercraft, and a hands-on mechanical environment. That background helped him transition from jet ski racing into motocross, where the same sense of balance and throttle control applies.
Personal Life
Beaumer was born and raised in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and continues to be based in the United States as a professional racer for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. He focuses much of his time on training, recovery, and competition, and is known for a mature, low-key approach away from the track.
2025 Season Performance
The 2025 season was a breakthrough year for Beaumer. He opened the 250SX West campaign with back-to-back podiums, took his first professional supercross win at San Diego, and led the championship before finishing runner-up to Haiden Deegan. The result confirmed that he is a consistent front-runner in one of the most competitive classes in the sport.
Outdoors, he started the 2025 AMA National Motocross Championship with his two best career overall finishes, fourth and fifth, before a crash at round four disrupted his momentum. He missed rounds seven and eight, returned to score another fifth overall, and then suffered a concussion in the season finale. He was healthy enough to enter the SuperMotocross World Championship playoffs, where a qualifying crash at the opening event left him with three fractured vertebrae and brought his season to an early end.
Despite the injuries, Beaumer’s 2025 results strengthened his standing within Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and underlined his long-term potential. With a multi-year factory deal already in place, his recovery and return to competition will be a key storyline heading into the next supercross and motocross campaigns.
