Ott Kornell Re-Signs with Beta to Target the Top of Extreme Enduro

Beta has officially confirmed Hungarian rising star Ott Kornell for the 2026 season, reinforcing its commitment to one of the most promising young talents in hard enduro.

Still only 17 years old, Kornell continues his rapid progression in the sport and will once again line up aboard Beta machinery as he prepares to step into the highest levels of international competition.

From Silver Winner to Gold Contender

Ott Kornell first turned heads at just 15 years of age when he won the Silver Class at Red Bull Romaniacs — one of the most demanding extreme enduro races in the world. That breakthrough performance established him as a name to watch.

Since then, his development has been steady and deliberate. Based strategically in Romania, Kornell trains in the challenging terrain of the Carpathian Mountains, supported by Enduro Evolution, Beta’s official importer in Romania.

Structured Growth Under Expert Guidance

A key factor in Kornell’s rise has been the structured approach led by his coach, Andrea Goga. Through disciplined preparation and focused technical training, Kornell has refined his riding style, adapting his natural talent into the precision and control required at the highest level of extreme enduro.

The rugged Romanian terrain has played a central role in shaping his abilities, offering the perfect environment to prepare for the brutal demands of top-tier hard enduro competition.

Gold Class Ambitions for 2026

For the 2026 season, Kornell is ready to take the next step. Returning to Red Bull Romaniacs, he will move up to the prestigious Gold category — a significant milestone in his career.

With a combination of youth, technical refinement, and growing race experience, Ott Kornell enters 2026 aiming not just to participate, but to challenge at the front.

Beta’s renewed backing signals strong belief in his potential — and the next chapter of his extreme enduro journey is just beginning.
