RIDE REVIEW I BEN KELLEY'S FMF K TM FACTORY RACING GNCC 350 XC-F
P90
are all built in-house at KTM's
off-road race shop in California
to get the bike to the finish line.
There are more teams invest-
ing more resources into trying to
beat KTM than ever before. And
while they knock them off the top
step at a race here and there,
the team that's won so many
championships keeps winning
more. Their current rider lineup
of Ben Kelley and Josh Toth is
young, fast, and getting faster.
Kailub Russell left a legacy they
are intent on defending and he,
himself, is in the trenches with
Kelley and Toth adding confi-
dence to their programs every
week.
And then you have the team.
Countless people in the trenches
during an event scouting lines,
sharing information, offering
advice, providing support, and
creating an orange-friendly envi-
ronment. This is not an accident.
It's a plan. A plan to maximize on
the investment of KTM's GNCC
racing focus and one that simply
keeps working.
GO SEE IT
You must see it to believe it. All of
it. GNCC racing is a spectacle,
a festival, a motorcycle race and
a traveling lifestyle wrapped with
more passionate participation
than I can accurately describe
here. And at the top of it all is the
KTM team, investing the most
to win every year—an impressive
Welcome to the woods.
While tree obstacles
weren't much of an
issue out in the mud,
we still managed to hit
a few and Ben Kelley's
bike didn't flinch.
