We’re pumped to officially welcome Charli Cannon to the 6D family. If you’ve been watching WMX at all this year, you already know why this one’s exciting. Charli has come into 2026 swinging with Quad Lock Honda, and she’s been right in the mix from the second the gate dropped. Fast, aggressive, and never backing down.

Why Charli?

Charli’s from Australia, and you can feel it in the way she rides, gritty, stubborn, no backing off. She’s already one of the fastest female racers out there, but what really stands out is how hard she pushes when things aren’t going her way.

Round 1 – Hangtown

The opener at Hangtown set the tone immediately. Charli was right up front from the start, taking advantage of an early mistake from Lala Turner in moto one and putting herself in position to win. Turner clawed her way back and made a last-lap pass. Moto two Charli was out front again, managing the race, then dealing with a small mistake that shuffled things around late. At the end of the weekend, she landed second overall (3-2), but that stat doesn’t fully show how close she was to the top step.

Round 2 – Thunder Valley

Thunder Valley brought a totally different challenge altitude, rough conditions, and long motos. Charli showed up again. She set the fastest qualifying time, putting everyone on notice before the racing even started. In moto one, she worked her way into the lead and looked ready to capitalize, but a crash in the rollers changed that. She dug deep and salvaged second place. Moto she inherited the lead after Turner went down and stayed within striking distance all race, even while dealing with the after-effects of the previous day. Another second overall. Back-to-back podium weekends to start the year.

We’re stoked to have Charli representing 6D this season. She’s already proven she has the speed. The confidence is building. The results are stacking. And it feels like it’s only a matter of time before it all clicks for that first win of the year. We’ll be behind her every step of the way.

Welcome to 6D, Charli 👊
