2025 Indian Motorcycle Wrecking Crew
·
·
The Indian Motorcycle “Wrecking Crew” is one of the most iconic aspects of American motorcycle history, thanks to the dominance of the original Wrecking Crew in the 1950s and the modern flat track Wrecking Crew, led by Jared Mees, from 2017-2024.
Now Indian Motorcycle is embarking on a new bagger-racing chapter in the Wrecking Crew story with the expansion of its Indian Motorcycle S&S Cycle factory team, adding French MotoGP veteran Loris Baz to the lineup, joining 2024 King of the Baggers Champion Troy Herfoss and two-time King of the Baggers Champion Tyler O’Hara.
Once again, the team will do battle aboard the Indian Challenger, powered by the unparalleled overhead-cam, liquid-cooled PowerPlus 112 motor.

"The King of the Baggers series has had my attention since it began, and to be a part of it as a member of the legendary Indian Motorcycle Wrecking Crew is truly an honor. Racing Superbike, I’ve seen first-hand what Troy and Tyler have accomplished aboard the S&S Indian Challenger, and I’m thrilled to be joining this championship team as we chase another title together in 2025."
TROY HERFOSS, No. 1
Returning to defend his crown as king of the baggers is Indian Motorcycle-S&S No. 1 rider Troy Herfoss. In his first year piloting the S&S Indian Challenger, the three-time Australian Superbike champion podiumed all but three races in 2024, securing a class-leading seven wins, seven second-place finishes, and one third-place finish.
TYLER O’HARA, No. 29
Returning for his sixth season aboard the S&S Indian Challenger is No. 29 Tyler O’Hara. A two-time KOTB champion, O’Hara won the class’ inaugural race in 2020 and repeated as champion in 2022. O’Hara’s fearless approach and seasoned experience racing baggers makes him a fierce competitor in this year’s King Of The Baggers field.
LORIS BAZ, No. 76
Rounding out the Indian Wrecking Crew is French road racer Loris Baz. Baz’s dynamic riding style and proven resume makes him a formidable force on the track. The Frenchman has competed in premier series such as MotoGP, World Superbike, and most recently within MotoAmerica’s Superbike class. He’s earned a reputation as a versatile and skilled rider, known for his adaptability. Baz has achieved success across various racing disciplines, including his time in the European Superstock 1000 Championship, where he clinched the title in 2008. With his international pedigree and history of success, Baz is set to make a powerful impact in King Of The Baggers.
