One of the most challenging, brutal and fastest growing variants of off-road motorcycle racing is hard enduro. This extreme format is designed to push the world’s most elite riders and their equipment to the breaking point.

Kenda sent shockwaves through the industry several years earlier with the introduction of the super soft, extreme traction Ibex for the hard enduro segment. Today, Kenda reveals two brand new additions to their hard enduro family.

Kenda’s new Gauntlet and Knarly tyres are just what top tier riders have been looking for, and have been built from the ground up to get a grip when its needed most on grueling off-road terrain. The new models boast super sticky compounds with extra wide footprints that allow riders to run lower pressures so that they tyre will conform to almost any surface, offering maximum grip.

An avid racer, Kenda USA’s Director of Powersports, Jason Baldwin says:

“The racers are over the top excited about these new tyres. Cody Webb won King of the Mountain racing on the Knarly and instantly became a believer. We are pumped to be launching such sweet tires for the enduro market.”

The Gauntlet is already available in the UK in several sizes, while the new Knarly is due to arrive later this year.
