The 2025 Red Bull Tennessee Knockout (TKO) celebrated fifteen years with an epic weekend of action. The three days of racing served as the final round of the AMA US Hard Enduro Championship and attracted 535 entries. For most participants, the goal is to just finish but many are aiming to be one of the top twenty riders that qualify for the Sunday main event.
Check out the full weekend recap video here:
Mani Lettenbichler won the 2025 TKO on his Red Bull KTM. The German dominated all four rounds of pro class competition and made an early pass of both Trystan Hart and Billy Bolt to take over the lead in the main event and held that to the finish. Hart held on for second position and wrapped up his fifth AMA US Hard Enduro Championship on his FMF KTM. The UK’s Billy Bolt round out the podium on his Husqvarna.
Sherco rider Will Riordan made last lap passes on Yamaha’s Cody Webb and Rockstar Husqvarna’s Ryder LeBlond to secure fourth place. LeBlond finished fifth and Webb finished sixth. Eddie Karlsson came over from Sweden and finished seventh on a Stark Varg electric motorcycle after dominating the electric bike expert class and earning his way into the main event. James Flynn finished in eighth on his Beta. Hawaii’s Kawelo Huddy finished ninth on a KTM ahead of fellow Hawaiian Ryder Guest who was also on a KTM.
The Women’s pro class competed along with the top amateurs on the Saturday race two long course. Rachel Gutish took the win on her Rieju and finished in twenty-sixth overall. Louise Forsley finished second in her first race for the Beta team. Nikki Russell rounded out the podium on a Rieju.
In addition to the pro racing, the Red Bull Tennessee Knockout crowned amateur champions in several classes. Saturday included two rounds of amateur racing with race two serving as the AMA Grand championship-deciding race. During that second race, Idaho’s Niko Piazza was the overall and A class winner with a winning time of 1:04:36 on a Husqvarna. Coran Calvert finished second on a Sherco just under 41 seconds back and Maverik Thaxton rounded out the top three riding a KTM. The top thirty riders also earned the opportunity to compete with the twenty-seven pro riders, which kicked off their racing on Saturday afternoon followed by three rounds of racing on Sunday. All three of the teenagers managed to qualify for the Sunday main event.
