TRYSTAN HART AND FMF KTM FACTORY RACING P4 AT RAIN-SOAKED ULTIMATE HAWAIIAN HARD ENDURO

U.S. HARD ENDURO SERIES – ROUND 2

After taking the win at Round 1 of the AMA U.S. Hard Enduro Championship at King of the Motos, Hart entered the Ultimate Hawaiian event looking to build upon his form as he targets his sixth Pro Class crown in 2026.

Brutal conditions in Kauai had the 29-year-old excited for the event – the Canadian racer taking his KTM 300 XC to fourth place at the conclusion of Saturday’s Prologue session.

A tough outing on Sunday followed, however, as the defending champion navigated the technical, slippery terrain to be credited with fourth place in the Pro Class, despite not making the checkered flag as a result of the conditions.

The points scored keep him directly in the championship fight, with Round 3 of the series taking place at the Grinding Stone Hard Enduro in Arizona from March 20-22.

Trystan Hart: “It was a super-sick race in Hawaii, with conditions that normally suit my style. I missed the mark with bike setup, and that cost me dearly for a disappointing fourth place – my worst ever finish at a U.S. Hard Enduro! All things considered, we still scored solid points toward the championship and we’ll look for some redemption at Grinding Stone.”

NATIONAL HARE & HOUND SERIES – ROUND 2

FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Dante Oliveira was also on track over the weekend, heading a wire-to-wire victory at the second National Hare & Hound round of 2026 in Lovelock, Nevada.

The defending Pro Class champion was in form from the outset at the Prospector 150 event, powering his KTM 450 XC-F through the fast-paced terrain to record a total time of 3:44.16s and earn a second victory in 2026.

Back-to-back wins to start the season see Oliveira on a perfect 60 points leaving Round 2, with five races remaining in this year’s schedule.

Dante Oliveira: “Round 2 was epic – I got the holeshot and was able to lead wire-to-wire! It was a little hairy at times while leading, because we go out there and hammer wide-open, so a lot of the race was about where I had to really push, and then just be smart and consistent with my pace. We had the snow melt, so the dirt was wet and allowed for a close race. I think those first five miles, or maybe even 20 miles, there were six of us together – you could have thrown a blanket over us. I ended up getting a good gap, kept it there, and pushed where I felt really comfortable. I rode pretty well this weekend, so I'm stoked with my bike, thanks to the team. It was an awesome weekend.”

U.S. SPRINT ENDURO SERIES – ROUND 2

The Mac Daddy’s Paradise U.S. Sprint Enduro saw FMF KTM Factory Racing riders Grant Davis, Johnny Girroir, Jason Tino, and Brandy Richards in the lineup, as each contested their respective classes at the second round.

Equipped with the KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION, last year’s Pro 2 Class Champion Davis raced to a solid victory at the second round of the season, claiming the top position once all 11 tests were complete in Georgia.

Grant Davis: “It was a pretty good weekend. Today I wasn’t great in the first test, I hit the ground twice, but I was able to pick it up later on in the day and managed the win, which feels really good. Cody [Barnes] was ripping at the end of the day, as he does at every Sprint Enduro, so I had the pressure there, but all-in-all, I’m really stoked on winning one of these events. Shoutout to the FMF KTM Factory Racing team and all our partners for making this possible.”

Round 1 winner Girroir was in race-winning contention too, finishing directly behind Davis onboard his KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION to deliver a 1-2 Pro 1 Class finish for the team after being the pace-setter on Saturday.

Johnny Girroir: “It was a good weekend out for the team with a 1-2 alongside Grant and we can take a lot away from this one. Building in these early stages of the year and excited for what’s to come!”

A challenging opening day was put in the rear view by FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Tino, who powered to a third-place finish on Sunday – and third overall in the Pro 2 Class – at Round 2 aboard his KTM 250 XC-F.

Jason Tino: “I tell you what, this one almost feels better than a win! From getting my teeth kicked in yesterday with dead-last after only three tests, and coming in a little under the weather, to clinching the final spot on the podium in the last test felt really, really good. A big shoutout to the club for the awesome conditions here, and thank you to my FMF KTM Factory Racing team.”

Targeting a consistent day at the second round of the season, Richards delivered a series of consistent results over the two-days of racing, claiming P2 onboard her KTM 350 XC-F FACTORY EDITION in the Pro Women’s category and a haul of valuable championship points.

Brandy Richards: “It wasn’t the greatest weekend for me, and these aren’t my favorite conditions, so the goal was to come in and score valuable points and stay closer to the leaders, which we were able to do. Conditions were different across each day – I felt better with today, and a podium is a solid way to wrap up this round.”
