The 2025 Hard Enduro South Africa Championship in partnership with The Roost KTM, kicked off with a bang on 12 April in Heidelberg.
It was nothing short of epic! A gnarly course that put riders to the test right from the first throttle twist. Round 1 reminded everyone why Hard Enduro is not for the faint-hearted.
The terrain was nothing short of epic, with a gnarly course that put riders to the test right from the first throttle twist. Round 1 reminded everyone why Hard Enduro is not for the faint-hearted.
The terrain demanded grit, technical skill, and serious bike control. From some brutal climbs to slippery descents, the course pushed every rider to their limit – and then some.
A huge shoutout to every rider who lined up at the start – this round proved just how deep the talent (and madness!) runs in South African Hard Enduro.
Thanks to all our sponsors for helping set up such a solid first round, Roost KTM, X-Grip, Dragon, Trademore, Plews Tyres SA, One 1 Four Mousse’s and Leatt. There were some really cool spot prizes and a good race vibe.
