2026 Motorcycles and Coffee King of the Motos Results

After nearly two hours of relentless desert punishment, Red Bull FMF KTM’s Trystan Hart once again proved why he’s one of the most dominant riders in hard enduro, charging to victory at the 2026 Motorcycles and Coffee King of the Motos. Hart completed the grueling five-lap race with a winning time of 2:38.03, earning his fourth career King of the Motos title.

The race began in dramatic fashion with a land rush-style start at the base of the iconic Chocolate Thunder, instantly spreading the field as riders clawed their way into the rocks. From there, the course delivered everything King of the Motos is known for: technical lines, brutal terrain, and nonstop pressure across all five laps.

Hart faced adversity early, including navigation mistakes and a costly crash that left him with a broken shifter. Despite losing time and momentum, he stayed composed, made the repair himself mid-race, and methodically worked his way back into control.

“In a lot of ways, the course was easier this year,” said Hart. “I was dialed in this year. I made a couple of navigation errors and they caught me a couple of times, then I opened up a gap. I had a crash and broke my shifter so I was stressin’ for about 30 minutes, but came back, fixed the shifter myself, then I was all good for the second lap.”

Behind him, Ryder LeBlond put together an impressive and consistent ride on his Rockstar Energy Husqvarna, finishing second, just 7 minutes and 45 seconds back. James Flynn rounded out the podium aboard his Beta, grinding through the brutal conditions to secure third place, finishing nearly 19 minutes behind the leader.

With elite riders battling mechanical issues, fatigue, and the unforgiving Johnson Valley terrain, the 2026 Motorcycles and Coffee King of the Motos once again delivered a true test of endurance, skill, and resilience—cementing its reputation as one of the toughest motorcycle races in the world.
