Less than two months since Bolt secured the SuperEnduro title in dominant fashion with another event victory at the final round in Poland, the British rider is now set to take on round one of this year’s HEWC – the Xross Hard Enduro Rally in Serbia.

Reigning 2023 FIM SuperEnduro World Champion Billy Bolt has switched his focus from indoor to outdoor competition as the Husqvarna Factory Racing rider prepares himself for the opening round of the 2023 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship. Feeling fit and motivated for success coming into the seven-round series, Bolt has his eyes set firmly on claiming the championship title.

Billy Bolt: “The 2023 season has been going well for me so far. I wrapped up the SuperEnduro season with another win there, and while it doesn’t translate directly to hard enduro, it’s always good to start the year dominating like that. I’m super excited to get back to the hard enduro scene now and show what I can do. I won the hard enduro world title in 2021 and to be honest, that’s the last time I’ve done the full championship. My 2022 season was cut short through injury, so if anything, it only gives me more motivation to take the win in 2023. I think when you’ve won a title in the past, if you go into that championship with any other goal than to win, then there’s definitely something wrong. The bike for 2023 is looking amazing, and it really suits my style. As soon as I jumped on it, I felt comfortable and that’s really good for my confidence going into the 2023 Hard Enduro World Championship. I couldn’t do what I do without such a strong team around me either. Every championship I have won has come about through a massive team effort. It’s helped me get to where I am and even though there is a lot of hard work to come this year, I feel that together we can make it happen and finish the season on top.”

Is this the future 2024 Generation Bikes that everyone is waiting?

Next month the 2024 Husqvarna Enduro range will be presented in detail to the public. So if you look carefully in the video, Billy said talks about the “old model”…
