National Enduro Championship - Rounds 4-6 | Mpumalamga
This weekend at the National Enduro Championships in Pilgrim’s Rest, Husqvarna Racing delivered a spectacular performance across the challenging Rounds 4, 5, and 6. Travis Teasdale, racing in the formidable E2 class, secured the overall and E2 victory, while young gun Luke Walker claimed a well-deserved second place in the E1 class.
The Husqvarna Racing team has been on a mission all year, with both Teasdale and Walker putting in relentless effort behind the scenes. This devotion culminated in an unforgettable weekend of racing.
Travis Teasdale’s stellar season continued as he followed up his triple win earlier in the year at Rounds 1-3, with more podium-topping performances. After a second-place finish in Round 4, Teasdale dominated Rounds 5 and 6, earning the National E2 Championship title. He came agonizingly close to a clean sweep of all six rounds, finishing just 9 seconds off the win in Round 4.
Reflecting on his championship victory, Teasdale said: "It’s been an incredible year for me, and to come this close to sweeping the series feels amazing. I’m excited for Roof of Africa next—this momentum will definitely be carrying me through! A huge thank you to the Husqvarna Racing team and everyone who has supported me throughout the season. We’re only just getting started!"
Luke Walker, fresh off his first OR3 Championship win, entered the weekend in high spirits and didn't disappoint. The rising star delivered consistent performances, taking second place in all three rounds of the E1 class. Walker's confidence continues to build, setting him up perfectly for the upcoming Roof of Africa.
Walker commented, “This weekend was a great challenge, and I’m happy to have secured second in every round. It’s been a solid year, and I’m ready to tackle the Roof of Africa next!"
"I couldn’t be more proud of our riders and the entire team for their outstanding performances this weekend and throughout the year. Travis has been absolutely dominant in the E2 class, delivering stellar performances every step of the way. Now, all eyes are on the Roof of Africa as we shift our focus to preparing for this prestigious challenge," said Megan Prinsloo, Husqvarna Racing team manager.
We recently visited KTM’s head office and discovered this delightful pair of new MV Agustas. They’ve just passed the homologation process for South Africa, which is great news. MV makes some of the most desirable bikes on the planet and these are of no exception. 
There is no better time to buy a new Super Adventure S, or the more off-road focused R version. Both road tests of these models can be read in more detail if you visit our New Rides section.
