MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Johnny Lewis and the MotoAnatomy Powered by Royal Enfield team are prepared to take on the Progressive American Flat Track championship.
For Lewis, this marks his fourth year of competition with Royal Enfield also marks another step forward as the MotoAnatomy team will now field a full-time, two-man team in the premiere class, adding Ryan Wells to the roster.
Johnny Lewis and the MotoAnatomy team have made great strides in Progressive American Flat Track, introducing the Royal Enfield INT650 motorcycle into the world of competition. After spending several seasons in the Mission Production Twins class developing the Royal Enfield Twins FT motorcycle, Lewis carded multiple podium finishes in the last two seasons, including a historic win at the Lima Half-Mile in 2021 — a first-ever feat for Royal Enfield.
Lewis is now confident that the Twins FT has the potential to be a serious contender in all formats of Progressive AFT racing: short track, half-mile, TT and even the formidable mile. Lewis and crew are ready to jump into the busy 18-round Progressive AFT championship.
“This is going to be another historic season for Royal Enfield in American Flat Track,” Lewis said. “The Twins FT motorcycle is something we’ve spent a long time developing, and we’re now at a point where we have the confidence to go all in. We’re thrilled to bring on a second rider, as well. Ryan Wells is already a great addition to the MotoAnatomy team. We’re looking forward to kicking off the season at the Daytona Short Track.”
Ryan Wells is a force in Progressive AFT competition, as the 2016 Parts Unlimited AFT Singles presented by KICKER champion ranks among the singles’ class all-time winningest riders. The 2007 AMA Youth Dirt Tracker of the Year has been winning pro-level races for over a decade, and now brings his flat track expertise to Royal Enfield.
“Words can’t express my excitement to join the MotoAnatomy Powered by Royal Enfield team,” Wells said. “Finally rejoining the Mission SuperTwins class full time is long overdue for my personal goals and I’m glad it’s finally coming to fruition. Being able to work alongside Johnny Lewis, someone I’ve looked up to for so long, is really the icing on the cake. I thrive off of positivity and people chasing the same goals and Johnny and I really click in those ways. I’m very excited to get the ball rolling.”
