Ott Kornell with Beta for 2026 Hard Enduro season

Hungarian Hard Enduro specialist Ott Kornell strikes up a deal with the Beta factory for 2026 to race extreme enduro and Red Bull Romaniacs.

At 17-years old Ott Kornell has already packed a good CV together having won the Silver class winner at Red Bull Romaniacs…two years ago at the age of 15, by the way. He backed that up with third place in a hotly contested 2025 edition.  

The Young Hungarian rider (pictured, centre, at the Beta HQ), lives and trains in Romania and has the support of Enduro Evolution S.r.l., Beta’s official importer to the country and which many riders will know from the Romaniacs paddock.

It’s a promising sign that Beta are investing in hard enduro again with a young rider. Alfredo Gomez runs the official AG Racing Beta Hard Enduro team in the Hard Enduro World Championship and events like Romaniacs and Erzberg.

Coached for a number of years now by Andrea Goga, they are preparing in the Carpathian Mountains for the season ahead and a step up to the major classes including Gold category at RBR 26.
