Netflix Set to Announce Documentary Series in Honor Of Husqvarna, titled ‘The Bike for Legends’: “We’re glad to announce that we’ve started production, and it’ll be released…”

In a thrilling new development for motorcycle enthusiasts and documentary lovers alike, Netflix has officially confirmed the production of a new documentary series titled The Bike for Legends, which will spotlight the rich history and cultural impact of Husqvarna Motorcycles. The Swedish-born brand has long been an icon in the world of off-road racing and motocross, and this series promises to deliver an in-depth look at the brand’s journey from humble beginnings to global fame.

“We’re glad to announce that we’ve started production, and it’ll be released to audiences worldwide in early 2026,” said Janet Liu, Vice President of Documentary Programming at Netflix. “This is a story that goes beyond just motorcycles—it’s about innovation, perseverance, and the people who shaped an industry.” The series is said to feature rare archival footage, interviews with legendary riders, and behind-the-scenes insights into some of the most iconic bikes ever built.

Founded in 1903, Husqvarna began as a weapons manufacturer before venturing into the world of two-wheeled machines. Over the decades, it earned a reputation not just for high-performance bikes, but also for setting design standards that other companies would soon follow. Netflix’s series will trace this evolution, bringing viewers up close with the engineering brilliance and cultural relevance of the brand.

The series is being directed by award-winning filmmaker Raul Esparza, known for his previous work on Wheels of Change and Road Kings. Esparza expressed his excitement for the project, saying, “Husqvarna isn’t just a motorcycle brand—it’s a symbol of rebellion, freedom, and craftsmanship. I want this series to feel as raw and authentic as the dirt tracks these bikes were born to dominate.”

The Bike for Legends is expected to be a six-part series, with each episode focusing on a different era or aspect of Husqvarna’s legacy—from the golden age of motocross in the 1960s and 70s, to the company’s modern-day revival under KTM Group ownership. “We want viewers to understand what made Husqvarna such a revolutionary force in motorsports,” said series producer Melissa Grant. “And how it continues to shape the future.”

Netflix has partnered directly with Husqvarna to ensure historical accuracy and access to key people, bikes, and documents. Magnus Eriksson, head of heritage at Husqvarna Motorcycles, said, “To have our story told on a platform like Netflix is both an honor and a responsibility. This series is about more than machines—it’s about the riders, the races, and the passion that drove them forward.”

Several prominent riders are already confirmed to appear in the series, including Torsten Hallman, Malcolm Smith, and modern-day enduro star Billy Bolt. Viewers can expect personal anecdotes, race-day reflections, and never-before-told stories that defined generations of riders. “Husqvarna gave me my start,” said Bolt in a teaser clip. “They believed in me, and that made all the difference.”

Fans are also in for a visual treat. The series will blend cinematic reenactments with first-person GoPro footage, drone shots of rugged terrains, and 3D recreations of classic races. Netflix promises it will be “a feast for the eyes” as much as it is “a lesson in legacy.”

This announcement comes amid a growing trend of motorsports-related content gaining traction on streaming platforms. With the success of series like Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Netflix seems eager to tap into other passionate fanbases. “The appetite for high-octane, real-life storytelling is growing,” said Liu. “And we believe The Bike for Legends is perfectly positioned to become a cultural moment.”

As production ramps up in the coming months, Netflix is expected to release trailers and exclusive previews later this year. For fans of motorsport, design, and history, The Bike for Legends might just become one of the most anticipated series of 2026. Keep an eye out—because the legend of Husqvarna is about to ride again, this time, onto your screens.
