RACE THIS YEAR’S 100TH ISDE IN PORTUGAL!

KTM announces a Race Service and Rental Package that provides average riders with all the support they need to take on the landmark 100^th running of the most celebrated event of the FIM Enduro calendar – the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) – in Portugal this October.

Have you always been intrigued by the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE)? Or beyond that, is racing a Six-Day on your bucket list? If so, you’re not alone. Not by a long shot. Any serious dirt bike rider worth their salt has at least pondered whether they could hack the rigours of what’s always been referred to as the “Olympics of Motorcycle Racing”. But most have then balked at the prospect because of its logistical hurdles. Not to mention the hefty costs associated with racing this iconic international event.

But what if you could rent a motorcycle and service package for the ISDE; cost-effective support that allowed you to pretty much rock up and ride, just like a pampered factory racer? It’d mean less time off work. No exorbitant bike-and-gear-and-spares shipping costs to consider. And no need to rustle up a bunch of support crew to help you through the gruelling six days in a remote region on the other side of the world.

Well, if ever that sort of thing sounded appealing to you, this year’s 100^th running of the ISDE in Portugal must. Because, to celebrate this landmark centenary edition of the Six-Day, KTM has revealed its renowned Race Service and Rental Package, which brings your bucket list dream within financial and logistical reach.

Here’s the info we received from KTM, outlining the 2026 ISDE package options (by the way, the ISDE has been officially rebranded as the “6DAYS FIM Enduro of Nations”, and €1 equates to around $1.67 AUD)…

Returning to Portugal for 2026, the 6DAYS® FIM Enduro of Nations will see riders take on the enduro-rich terrain of the Alentejo region – backed by Portugal’s proud ISDE heritage, having hosted several memorable editions of the event. Characterized by rolling plains, wooded landscapes and rugged Atlantic coastline, Alentejo promises a diverse and demanding mix of challenges to mark 100 years of fast-paced enduro competition.
