Beta Motorcycles Australia's Ruben Chadwick set the tone for 2026 from the very first weekend, winning the season opener at the Kosciuszko Killer at Towong Upper on the Victoria and New South Wales border in April.

He swept both days of Round 2, Murrumba Madness at Esk in Queensland, then made it three from three at the Dederang Deadzone in Victoria in June. From there the 2023 champion controlled the championship through Bonnie Doon and the Deja Vu finale at Corryong to claim his second Australian Hard Enduro title.
