CN VOLUME ISSUE APRIL , P29 The FIM WSX Championship returns for 2026 with five rounds on five different continents and potentially a sixth round to be revealed at a later date. TKO Date Change D ue to a conflict with the FIM Hard Enduro Championship, the 2026 Red Bull Tennessee Knockout (TKO) has been changed to Friday, August 28, to Sunday, August 30. This change allows some of the world's top hard enduro racers to partici - pate in the TKO. In fact, Red Bull KTM's Mani Lettenbichler and Husqvarna Fac- tory Racing's Billy Bolt are planning to be back to compete against the top North American hard enduro racers. "After confirming the dates for the 16th annual TKO last year, we were sur- prised that the FIM Hard Enduro Champi- onship scheduled a new event on the same date," Eric Peronnard, the co-producer of the TKO, said. "With our team of partners, we worked to modify our schedule to allow the best riders in the world to attend the TKO to the delight of American fans." The TKO is the premier U.S. hard enduro event held at the Trials Training Center in Sequatchie, Tennessee, and sells out the 500 amateur entries available each year. The format allows for differ - ent levels of riders to enjoy a challenging course that ramps up in difficulty throughout multiple rounds of racing. CN The 2026 Red Bull Tennessee Knockout is rescheduled for August 28-30.
