Lettenbichler wins with a gripping Silver Kings Hard Enduro in Idaho!

Kellogg, Idaho, USA - What an exciting race weekend at Silver Hard Enduro in Idaho! From June 12th to 14th, 2025, the best hard enduro drivers in the world gathered in the picturesque Kellogg or rather, on the challenging race track of the Silver Mountain Resort to measure themselves in gripping competitions. Under the radiant stars of the scene, two drivers stood out above all: Trystan Hart and Manuel Lettenbichler, both from KTM. Hart, who ended the first day before Lettenbichler, had to take a narrow defeat on the last day of the race.

On the first day of the race, things went down properly. Trystan Hart took the lead and had the finish line after 1: 45: 12.2 hours, whereby he had 34 seconds ahead of Lettenbichler, who finished 1: 45: 46.7. Mitch Brightmore landed in third place. Billy Bolt, also a strong competitor from Great Britain, fought his way into the race after a bumpy start of 15th place, but could not keep the connection to the top. Despite his ten -fold reputation, he allowed some mistakes in tricky sections of the route and finally ended up in 5th place.

day two: a head-to-head race

The second race day brought the full action, with hard and Lettenbichler, who continuously changed and took the lead. Wade Young from South Africa kept the pressure upright with a solid journey and took third place. Finally, Lettenbichler triumphed in the final, with a finite term of 2: 04: 48.18 hours, while hard came to finish just 25 seconds after him.

new points and the look ahead

This year there is also an important innovation in racing format. The Fim Hard Enduro World Championship has introduced a new point system to promote fairness, strategy and competitive. The changes aim to ensure that every race day counts, which is of great importance, especially at several days like the Silver Kings Hard Enduro.

In the provisional table of the Hard Enduro World Championship, Manuel Lettenbichler now runs with 64 points, followed by Mitch Brightmore with 46 and Billy Bolt with 43 points. The next round will take place on September 20 and 21 in Abestone, Italy, and the tension could not be greater! These championships definitely promise to continue to bring interesting races.

This remains to be seen how the internal struggle will develop at KTM. Every driver has shown this weekend that they are among the best of their guild. Until the next round it is time to keep your fingers crossed and watch what the next stage of the Hard Enduro World Cup brings!
