The 2026 Red Bull Tennessee Knockout (TKO) is confirmed for Friday, August 21 to Sunday, August 23, 2026, at the Trials Training Center in Sequatchie, Tennessee. The sixteenth annual TKO will again be part of the AMA US Hard Enduro Championship series and serve as the final round.
TKO is the premier US Hard Enduro event and sells out the 500 amateur entries available each year. The format allows for different levels of riders to enjoy a challenging course that ramps up in difficulty throughout multiple rounds of racing. This allows less experienced riders to develop their skills and watch the best Hard Enduro riders in the world in the later rounds of racing.
The action will start on Friday with the amateur Hot Laps to set the Saturday starting positions. Saturday will include two rounds of amateur racing that will allow up to thirty riders to earn the opportunity to race in the Sunday pro competition. The pro riders will kick off their weekend with a Hot Lap on Saturday afternoon. Sunday will include three rounds of pro class racing that concludes with a multi-lap main event that is spectacular for the fans.
TKO will include all the AMA US Hard Enduro Championship classes. That includes two eMoto classes for electric motorcycles and there will be electric motorcycle demo rides to add to the fun weekend for racers and spectators.
Germany’s Mani Lettenbichler won the 2025 TKO over Canada’s Trystan Hart and the UK’s Billy Bolt. This was Lettenbichler’s third TKO win, matching Hart with three total wins. Cody Webb is the all-time TKO win leader with six.
Entries will open soon and more details for the event will be announced in the coming months.
