Barnes Back
With Beta
C
ody Barnes is back with the
Liqui Moly Beta Racing team
in a new two-year deal that sees
him make his full-time debut in
the GNCC XC1 Pro class. He'll
also compete in the Pro1 class
in the U.S. Sprint Enduro series.
Barnes previously rode for Beta
in 2019 and 2020 and rejoins the
team after a stellar 2025 season
in which he finished third overall
in the GNCC series, stacking 11
podiums and two wins in the XC2
Pro class en route to second in
the class points.
"I'm super excited to join the
Beta family again," said Barnes.
"I enjoyed working with everyone
at Beta when I last rode for them
in 2019 and 2020, so when the
opportunity came up, it felt right.
I believe the program and the
bike are a lot better than people
think. I'm looking forward to
proving the bike is capable of the
highest level of off-road racing
for the next two years!"
"To have Cody join the team is
very exciting," said Josh Strang,
East Coast race team manager.
"He finished third overall in the
GNCC series this year, and I saw
him a lot on the track, as every
-
one did. I have been racing for
years,
so to be able to watch and
race with Cody each weekend
made my choice a lot easier,
rather than just looking at the
results on paper. He has already
had a couple of days on the
bike, and I really like what I see!
I'm excited to see Cody move
into the XC1 class and show his
potential and also the potential
of the Beta brand."
