Walker Makes National Enduro History with Overall Win

 

At Round 6 of the 2026 American National Enduro Championship in Pine City, New York, Liqui Moly Beta’s Jhak Walker delivered a landmark performance at the Barbed Wire National Enduro by becoming the first Pro2 (250cc) rider in series history to claim an overall victory. Not only that, but he is also the first rider in 13 years to win the Overall on a two-stroke at National Enduro. Navigating a dry, rocky, and highly technical course, Walker capitalized on his smooth riding style and technical precision to keep mistakes to an absolute minimum. Building on the momentum of his first career overall podium at the previous round, Walker was smart and consistent all day, even maintaining his composure after a late-race transfer crash that threatened to derail his historic run. By letting his Beta Factory 250 RR handle the rugged New York terrain and refusing to let the track bite him, Walker posted the fastest cumulative time of the event to top the overall podium ahead of Pro1 standouts, writing his name in the National Enduro history books as the series heads into its final three rounds.

“I had a great day. I was consistent on the day and rode very well. I felt super comfortable on my Beta Factory 250 RR and hit my marks all day, coming home with the overall win!”
