U.S. HARD ENDURO SERIES – ROUND 7Four-time U.S. Hard Enduro Champion Hart found difficulties during the last two years at the Tough Like RORR, however, this time around he was able to convert what was a convincing race victory onboard his KTM 300 XC-W with over 13 minutes between himself and second place.
After qualifying in third position on Saturday, Hart was all class on Sunday in a winning time of 3:41:14 to open one of the most important events on the U.S. Hard Enduro schedule as part of the annual Keystone Challenge event.
With his result, the Canadian makes his way to the top of the 2025 Pro Class standings, and will gear up for the Locked & Loaded Hard Scramble on Monday, which marks the second half of the Keystone Challenge double-header weekend.
Trystan Hart: “I tried to be consistent today, because this is the one race that I think we all really want to win for the year! It’s like the American Erzberg with the big rocks and tough sections, so I’m super grateful to be able to do this race and get the win. A big thank you to my FMF KTM Factory Racing Team – we’ll go again tomorrow.”Pro Class Results1. Trystan Hart, FMF KTM Factory Racing2. Cody Webb, Yamaha

WEST HARE SCRAMBLES – ROUND 4It was a wire-to-wire win for FMF KTM Factory Racing talent Mateo Oliveria at the fourth round of the 2025 AMA West Hare Scrambles (WHS) Series, who completed an impressive return from a hand injury sustained earlier in the season.
After powering his KTM 450 XC-F to the holeshot at the famed Glen Helen facility, Oliveira wouldn’t look back for the remainder of the nine-lap encounter, claiming his second victory of the year and increasing his series lead to 15 points with two rounds remaining.
Mateo Oliveira: “It was a good weekend back at the races after missing last Grand Prix. I knew this race was crucial to get points back and limit the damage from suffering a broken hand right before the third round. I crushed the holeshot and led start to finish with pressure from behind all race! Very happy with my performance and fitness, it’s good to have a little cushion going into the final two rounds.” Pro Class Results1. Mateo Oliveria, FMF KTM Factory Racing 2. Zane Roberts, Beta

NATIONAL ENDURO SERIES – ROUND 2FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Landers' Angus Riordan charged to second position in the NE Pro2 Class during Round 2 of the 2025 AMA National Enduro Series (NEPG) at the Cherokee National in Greensboro, Georgia, battling challenging conditions to secure a podium finish.
The Australian racer was in the fight for the duration of the encounter, holding firm at the front of the field as he battled with the leaders onboard his KTM 250 XC-F. Ultimately, a P2 finish was the end result for Riordan in the technical track conditions.
Angus Riordan: “It was a fun day at the NEPG. I was able to grab second in class and be right there in the fight all day long. Solid result for us, and I’m looking forward to the next one!”For NE Pro1 Class contender Ben Kelley, a sickness affected him throughout his race weekend, with the first round podium finisher acknowledging that it was a tough weekend out. Still, the FMF KTM Factory Racing rider raced his KTM 350 XC-F to fifth overall for the weekend.
Ben Kelley: “I came into the weekend under the weather, so I knew it would be a long day. Started pretty good, my times and speed were right there to battle for a podium spot, but I didn’t have the energy and faded off the pace in the last two tests. I made some mistakes and just wasn’t on point like I needed to be to stay in the fight. It was slick, rooty, and hard pack, but my bike worked well all day.” Additionally, KTM Team Landers-supported Chase Landers put in a strong ride in the NE Pro2 Class, by claiming a solid third position at the second round.
