KTM's American factory rider and 13-times ATV Pro Champion caused a sensation at the Erzberg Rodeo when he placed second riding the company's sports ATV, launched in 2007 in the USA and in 2008 in Europe. It was at least 60 places better than ATVs had ever achieved on the Iron Mountain in former editions of the Erzberg Rodeo. It was the American professional racer's first appearance at the Erzberg Rodeo, an event he said he had been following with interest for several years. "I really wanted to come here to compete and it's quite a surprise for me that I was up with the front runners. I definitely want to come back to Erzberg again," Farr said at the post race press conference.
KTM scooped all podium places at Erzberg on Sunday in what is considered to be one of the most extreme tests for man and machine, the Red Bull Hare Scramble for single cylinder machines held on Austria's Iron Mountain.
Title holder David Knight came, saw and almost conquered the unique twin cylinder Premier Class race at Erzberg on Thursday, finishing second in the opening event of the Erzberg Rodeo.
KTM presented the toughest, performance-oriented Hard Enduro ever produced at the just completed, legendary Erzberg Rodeo. Factory team rider David Knight won the two-cylinder King class category on the new 950 Super Enduro R while Giovanni Sala more than met the challenge with his start in the Red Bull Hare Scramble on the brand new 950 Super Enduro R.
