Is Manuel Lettenbichler the future of Hard Enduro?
It’s fair to say Manuel Lettenbichler grew up riding a bike, getting his hands on his first trials bike at the age of five. He won three junior trials titles before taking a change of direction. His father, Andreas ‘Letti’ Lettenbichler, introduced him to Enduro riding and Manuel caught the bug. On his first appearance at the Red Bull Hare Scramble in Erzberg in 2014 he became, at the age of 16, the youngest rider to ever finish the race. Now Manuel has joined the big leagues and enjoys success all over the world on the Hard Enduro circuit. In 2016, he registered victories in Poland, Germany, Spain, Brazil and the Czech Republic, cementing his place as one of the sport’s greatest young riders in the process.
