Riding Enduro is unlike any other form of motorcycle competition. The race is not only against your opponents; the real challenge is the terrain and ever-changing, unpredictable conditions. Enduro dirt bike riders are in battle with themselves first and their opponents second. It is a sport that requires toughness, skill, and speed on the one hand, but also requires the constant pushing of boundaries on the other. Keeping an edge in this fast-moving and increasingly challenging world requires constant improvement and innovation in terms of technique, equipment, and approaches to training. In Enduro, not everyone will make the finish line. In fact, many won’t. But the KTM EXC range gives riders an unfair advantage, and drastically improves their chances. Every ride is about pushing yourself, the motorcycle, and the sport to an entirely new level.
