Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Ryder LeBlond claimed fourth position overall in the 2025 U.S. Hard Enduro Series, with a P5 result at the season-ending Tennessee Knockout (TKO) completing what has been a successful year of competition – highlighted by two victories across the series' 10-round duration.

LeBlond and his Husqvarna TE 300 were well in the mix during the unique TKO format, with a selection of top-level FIM Hard Enduro World Championship competitors in attendance and providing a additional challenge to the American contingent on home soil.

Seventh position in Knockout 1 was followed with a P5 result in Knockout 2, before a solid fifth-place finish in the TKO Final earned LeBlond a top-five score for the weekend, and fourth overall in the Pro Class championship standings for this year.

The 23-year-old was firing on all cylinders throughout the middle stages of the U.S. Hard Enduro season, having captured victory at the Grinding Stone Hard Enduro, which was the third stop of 2025. Another win at the Battle of the Goats, which was round six, was met with a further two podium results.

“That’s TKO all wrapped up!” commented LeBlond.“I got good starts and was in a solid position, so it was fun. We battled hard and I wanted a little more than P5, but fifth was the result, and it’s a decent way to finish the championship. It was a good season, with lots of ups, as well as a couple of downs, which held me back in the points a bit, but I need to clean my consistency up and we'll be in there for the title on a more continual basis next season. A big thanks to my team for all the support in 2025!”

World championship front-runner Billy Bolt also contested the TKO weekend in Sequatchie, Tennessee, with the Husqvarna Factory Racing rider sealing the final position on the podium in third place.

"My experience here was great, as always," Bolt reflected. "I feel very welcomed when I come to the United States, so it's nice. It's a challenge as logistically it takes a bit to head over here, but I enjoy it so much and the crowds are awesome – Hard Enduro really seems to be trending in a positive direction on this side of the world. All-in-all, it was a good trip, but third isn't exactly what I wanted and it's not what I came here for, but I was happy with how I rode and that was all I had in the tank. The intensity was super-high and everyone rode well, so that made it hard! It was a good weekend."
