Last year, Royal Enfield brought out the FT450, a competition flat-tracker based around the Sherpa engine taken from the new Guerrilla 450. This was the machine developed for use in Enfield's Slide School program, and was developed in the more-than-capable hands of former professional flat track racer and Dirt Craft owner Gary Birtwistle.
But the thing about racers is, they don't stop. They don't know how; well, except maybe after the finish line. And so, with Birtwistle's continuing efforts and ministrations, the new Sherpa FT mk2 is officially participating in the 2026 FIM Flat Track World Championship.
