A Championship Year for Hindle Riders.
The checkered flag has fallen on the 2026 Canadian Superbike Championship, and what a season it was! From championship titles and race wins to podiums, pole positions and breakout performances, we couldn’t be more proud of the riders who represented Hindle Exhaust throughout the 2026 season.
Ben Young added another chapter to Canadian racing history in 2026, capturing his sixth Canadian Superbike Championship aboard the Van Dolder’s Home Team Honda CBR1000RR-RSP.
Ben was the rider to beat from the very beginning, opening the season with a victory at Shannonville and continuing his winning form throughout the year. By Grand Bend, Ben had built enough of a championship advantage to clinch the championship title one round early, sweeping both races that weekend.
He wasn’t finished yet. Ben closed out the year at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (CTMP) with another dominant performance, finishing the season with 245 points and his sixth Canadian Superbike crown. The entire team also took home the Team of the Year award for 2026.
Congratulations to Ben and the entire Van Dolder’s Home Team Honda crew on another incredible championship season!
What started as a limited 2026 racing schedule turned into a championship-winning comeback for Tomas Casas.
Tomas returned to Pro Supersport aboard the FAST Riding School Suzuki GSX-R750 and immediately showed he still had championship-winning pace, sweeping both races at the Shannonville opener.
His results ultimately changed the plan from a limited schedule to a full championship campaign, and it certainly paid off!
After wins at AMP and a perfect weekend sweep at Grand Bend, Tomas entered the CTMP finale fighting for the title. He delivered when it mattered most, winning and securing his third Canadian Pro Supersport Championship.
Sebastien Tremblay was one of the most consistent front-runners of the 2026 Pro Supersport season.
The ST Motosport Suzuki rider battled Casas throughout the year, collecting podium after podium and keeping himself firmly in the championship fight right through the season finale.
Sebastien finished the year second overall with 148 points, completing a fantastic season for both himself and the team.
After winning both the Amateur Supersport and Amateur Superbike championships in 2025, Cole Alexander stepped into the Pro ranks in 2026 and wasted no time proving he belonged at the front.
Cole regularly battled the established Pro riders, including leading races and scoring a standout second-place finish at Grand Bend.
He finished his rookie Pro Supersport campaign an impressive third in the championship with 112 points. He was also given an amazing opportunity to ride Ben Young’s “B Bike” at CTMP in the Superbike class, and was able to bring home a 3rd and a 4th place finish for his first time ever racing in the Pro Superbike class.
David MacKay showed serious front-running speed throughout 2026 aboard his Honda CBR1000RR-R.
One of the highlights came at Grand Bend, where David captured his first career CSBK Superbike pole position, putting himself ahead of a stacked field that included Ben Young, Zoltan Frast and Jordan Szoke.
He also led Superbike races during the season and finished the year third overall in the Canadian Superbike Championship with 133 points.
Moving into the premier Superbike category, Andrew Van Winkle quickly established himself as a regular contender aboard the Mountain View Motorsports Honda CBR1000RR-R.
At Atlantic Motorsport Park, Van Winkle ran with Young and Szoke at the front and finished on the podium in third. He added another third-place result at Calabogie and remained a fixture near the front throughout the entire season.
Andrew finished his first full Superbike campaign fourth overall with 132 points — just one point behind MacKay for third.
Alex Michel made the jump into his first full Superbike season in 2026 aboard the Canadian Kawasaki Motors ZX-10R and finished an impressive fifth overall in the championship.
His best result of the season was fourth at Calabogie, and Alex established himself as one of the championship’s exciting young Superbike talents.
Unfortunately, his season ended with a crash while battling for third at CTMP. We’re glad to hear Alex was able to return home following the incident and we wish him a speedy recovery as he works toward returning to racing in 2027.
We’re also wishing Hindle-equipped rider Zoltan Frast, who was also involved in the incident, a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back in 2027.
Another championship for the Alexander family!
Lachlan Alexander put together a fantastic season aboard his Kawasaki Ninja 500, winning races throughout the year and ultimately securing the 2026 Super Sonic Road Race School Lightweight Sportbike Championship one round early at Grand Bend.
He celebrated the championship in the best possible way, with another race victory. Congratulations, Lachlan!
Jared Walker was virtually unstoppable in the ScorpionEXO Ninja ZX-4R Cup in 2026.
By the second round at Atlantic Motorsport Park, Jared had already recorded his fourth ZX-4R Cup victory of the season, and he continued his winning streak at Grand Bend.
Jared closed the season at CTMP by winning both ZX-4R Cup races, along with victories in the Lightweight Sportbike class.
Jared was able to secure the ZX4RR Championship – with an incredible season from start to finish.
Hindle was also proud to support young racer Stefan Tanasic as he developed his CSBK racing career in 2026 in the Lightweight class aboard a Hindle-powered Kawasaki Ninja 500. Tanasic podiumed at nearly every round in 2026, with a few 4th place finishes (although he had to miss Rounds 1 and 2 due to an injury).
We’re excited to continue watching Stefan’s progression through the Canadian racing ranks in 2027!
WE ARE PROUD TO SUPPORT CANADIAN ROAD RACING
Championships are special, but what makes a season like this even better for us is seeing Hindle-equipped motorcycles competing throughout the paddock, from young riders developing their skills to Canada’s fastest professional racers.
