2025 Hard Enduro Enduro World Championship
Silver Kings Hard Enduro – USA
Staged over three intense days, including a SuperEnduro-style prologue and two demanding off-road races on Silver Mountain, Idaho, the event proved a true test of skill and endurance.
Getting the weekend underway in spectacular fashion, Thursday’s prologue delivered tight, technical racing in front of a packed crowd. Trystan Hart impressed with a commanding ride to secure the win
Saturday’s first offroad day saw a fierce battle unfold between the chief protagonista. Lettenbichler took an early lead and kept his composure through the technical Milo Creek section, while the chasing pack struggled in the chaos behind. Closing the gap in the second half of the race, Trystan tailed Mani before launching a decisive charge in the final five minutes to take the win on the last hill climb. Hart claimed the day’s victory, with Mani crossing the line in second.
With everything to play for on Sunday, the fight for the overall win went down to the wire. Lettenbichler dug deep and delivered when it mattered most, taking the main race win with a narrow 20-second advantage over Hart.
Mani’s consistent 3-2-1 results were enough to secure him the overall Silver Kings crown, extending his championship lead to 18 points.
Manuel Lettenbichler – P1
“It’s been a really good race! I felt good on the bike from the first day and it showed in my results. The mountain race was awesome, and I enjoyed it a lot, especially battling with Trystan [Hart] and Mitch [Brightmore]. The main race was gnarly and the battle between me and Trystan was super fun, we must have passed each other 20-25 times! I’m happy to take the overall win and hope to come back here again!”
FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Trystan Hart impressed with a standout performance, finishing a close second after an exciting battle with Lettenbichler throughout the weekend.
Trystan Hart – P2
“I started off well with second in the prologue which was great. The first offroad day was crazy with an eight-way battle for most of the race. I really pushed near the end and managed to take the win which I was really happy with after a tough race. Today, I was with Mani for pretty much the whole race, swapping the lead for over two hours. At the end there was only 20 seconds between us, but I really enjoyed that and it’s great to have a KTM one-two!”
Australia’s Will Riordan backed up his recent top ten finish at Erzberg with a ninth place result at Silver Kings.

“The World Championship round at Silver Kings Hard Enduro was an awesome event. 9-6 for 9th overall. Had some vision troubles which made it hard to balance and concentrate, but I give it 100%, that’s for sure. Had a great time, and thanks everyone for the help and support.”
