FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Trystan Hart delivered a strong performance at the 2026 Silver Kings Hard Enduro in Kellogg, Idaho, claiming victory on Day 1 before following it up with a P2 finish in Sunday’s Thunder Bowl Finale at Round 3 of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship. In addition, Jason Tino continued his impressive run of form in the American National Enduro Championship (ANEC), securing second place in the NE Pro 2 division at the Little Raccoon National Enduro in Ohio.
FIM HARD ENDURO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP – ROUND 3

After qualifying third in Thursday's Super Kings Prologue, five-time U.S. Hard Enduro Champion Hart set the tone on Friday with a convincing Off-Road Day 1 victory, winning by nearly three minutes after recording a total time of 1:51:45s on the demanding mountain course.

Sunday's Thunder Bowl Finale was equally impressive, where Canadian standout Hart featured toward the front throughout the two-hour race onboard his KTM 300 XC as part of a thrilling three-way battle, briefly claiming the lead on the final King Slayer hillclimb before ultimately crossing the line in second by a slim five-second margin.

Trystan Hart: "It was a pretty sick race! We had a three-way battle for pretty much the whole two hours, going back and forth – I was more sitting at the back, just chilling, watching the boys do work. Right before the finish, I caught Mitch [Brightmore], passed him, and then 50 feet afterwards, he got me right back. It was a bummer about that, but we had good battles all day, and we're now focused on the next one.”

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Manuel Lettenbichler also enjoyed a convincing weekend in the U.S., finishing second in Off-Road Day 1 and third in the Thunder Bowl Finale. The legendary German retains the lead in the 2026 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship with an 88-point total and a 13-point advantage.

Manuel Lettenbichler: “I’m pretty happy [with today]. Trystan [Hart], Mitch [Brightmore], and I showed how good the pace can be compared to the rest [of the field] because we were so far ahead of everyone else. That was probably one of the tightest races we have had in the last two or three years, so that was pretty sick. The racing was good, and I’m stoked with third place!”

AMERICAN NATIONAL ENDURO CHAMPIONSHIP – ROUND 5

Also in action over the weekend was FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Jason Tino, who contested the fifth round of the American National Enduro Championship (ANEC) in McArthur, Ohio.

Equipped with the KTM 250 XC-F, Tino entered the Little Raccoon National Enduro on the back of consecutive victories in Rounds 3 and 4, while also holding a 29-point advantage atop the NE Pro2 standings.

Despite crashes in the opening two tests, he showed strong pace throughout all seven stages to finish second in class for the round, extending his championship lead in the process.

Jason Tino: “Today, honestly, I had a difficult time staying off the ground! I crashed twice in the first test, and then I crashed again twice in the second test. I was just pushing that little bit too hard, and it bit me, so I had some work to do in clawing my way back up for the rest of the day. I got up to second, and salvaged some solid championship points.”

NE Pro1 Class regular Ben Kelley remained sidelined for Round 5, with the FMF KTM Factory Racing rider prioritizing recovery from recent injuries.
