Tennessee Knockout
Confirmed for 2023
T
he Red Bull Tennessee
Knockout (TKO) will be back
in 2023 as the AMA Extreme
Off-Road Grand Championship.
2023 will mark the 13th consecu-
tive year of the TKO at the Trials
Training Center and although it
will not be a part of the FIM Hard
Enduro World Championship
(HEWC) in 2023, it will continue
to be one of the premier off-
road motorcycle races in North
America and likely attract many
top international riders.
The official
date in mid-
August will be
confirmed and
entries will be open in the com-
ing weeks.
"We had over 500 riders com-
peting last year and the feedback
was that it was the best TKO yet,"
said Eric Peronnard, the co-pro-
ducer of the Tennessee Knock-
out. "We will continue to improve
the event for the amateur partici-
pants, and on the pro side, we
will have the best North American
riders and expect that a lot of the
best international riders will be
back to take on the TKO again in
2023."

Revised 2023 FIM
Hard Enduro World
Championship
Schedule
T
he 2023 FIM Hard Enduro World Champion-
ship schedule has been reduced to seven
rounds, with the Israel round, Spain's 24MX
Hixpania and the USA's Tennessee Knockout
(TKO) dropping off the schedule. (The TKO will
continue for 2023 as the AMA Grand Championship
for Extreme Off-Road). WESS Promotion says that it
intends for the FIM Hard Enduro Series to alternate
between Red Bull Outliers in Canada (planned for
2023) and the Red Bull TKO (planned for 2024) in
the USA.
Faced with 40-year-high inflation rates, among
other factors, the goal of the reduced schedule is
to help ease financial costs for riders, teams and
organizers, as well as us as championship promot-
ers, according to the FIM.
