Malcolm Stewart Headlines Revamped Kawasaki Lineup

The veteran fan favorite returns to his roots to extend the Stewart family's storied legacy with Team Green, where he'll line up alongside a returning Garrett Marchbanks. Monster Energy® Kawasaki welcomes Malcolm Stewart to its 2027 roster, alongside 2026 450SX Rookie of the Year Garrett Marchbanks. Marchbanks earned a contract extension following his standout rookie 450 campaign in 2026. The two-rider lineup blends years of premier-class experience with rising 450 Class talent as Monster Energy Kawasaki sets its sights on the upcoming season aboard the new 2027 KX™450F-SR. Stewart brings more than a decade of professional racing experience and proven success to Monster Energy Kawasaki. The No. 27 has established himself as a consistent contender in the premier class, capturing his first career 450SX win in 2025 and earning the King of Paris SX crown later that year. Stewart battled to secure one podium and 14 Top 10 SMX finishes in 2026. Stewart’s addition to the team marks a return to his roots, having raced with Kawasaki Team Green™ throughout his amateur career and continuing the Stewart family’s storied history with the brand. “I’m very excited to be joining Monster Energy Kawasaki for 2027. I started my racing career on a Kawasaki as an amateur, so coming back to the brand feels like I’m returning to my roots. It’s a full-circle moment to have started my career with Kawasaki and now have the opportunity to return to where it all began. I’m looking forward to working with the team, getting on the KX™450F-SR, and starting this new chapter.” – Malcolm Stewart
