It’s generally assumed that enduro racing and snowy conditions don’t mix, but we beg to disagree. Instead of letting your bike gather cobwebs in the garage over the winter months, why not get your adrenaline pumping again at our KTM Enduro Snow Attack?
The first of four thrilling race events took place on 7th January 2023 on a 600-metre artificial snow track in the paddock of the Red Bull Ring. The race was organised according to American enduro rules, with the tail-enders being eliminated at the end of every two completed laps. When the field is down to the last ten remaining riders, they compete against each other in a five-lap race.
The first race event was won by Martin Hirner, who now leads the standings on 25 points. In the children’s/youth class things also get heated (despite wintry temperatures). After the training session, the young riders completed two runs of five laps each. Both runs decided the winner of the day.

Your next chance
Contestants will get their next chance to challenge for the title of “KTM Enduro Snow Attack Winter Champion” on 22nd January 2023. The most important lesson: Keep calm as classic riding techniques do not apply in the snow. Instead of tugging furiously at the throttle grip, you should rather use a lot of feeling and a precise clutch hand to search for the best grip. That’s the secret to producing a fast lap.
You have three more chances to prove your skills on snow. You don’t necessarily have to be in the starting line-up on all of the dates below, but each time you do, your chances of winning the title increase.
