Ross Noble: badass enduro racer

You’re familiar with Ross Noble from his standup and from “Have I Got News For You?” Well, at least if you’re British. But, did you know he’s also an enduro racer? And not just any enduros, but even the Romaniacs extreme enduro, described as the toughest in the world. The comedian entered this year’s race on a KTM 350 EXC-F, cameras following all the while. :continue:

A race bike for the (off) road

The KTM 350 EXC-F is a bike a lot of people will buy to go racing. It weighs 250 pounds and its fuel-injected, four-stroke 350cc motor produces an honest 45bhp. There is nothing second rate or cheap anywhere on the bike. And, if you can afford a service every 15 hours, it’s theoretically possible to to ride this honest-to-god race bike from your home to the trails.

KTM 350 EXC-F in action

The 2011 KTM 350 EXC-F is significant because it represents a third way between the horsepower of a 450 and light weight of a 250, claiming it combines the power of the former with the weight of the latter. We scooped it along with the rest of the 2011 KTMs back in October, so figured we should be the first to bring you action photos and more info too.
