Milner claims historic sixth Outright title

The KTM DM31 Racing Team completed a historic year of racing at Rounds 11 and 12 of the 2025 Australian Enduro Championship season in Gympie, Queensland, headlined by Victorian Daniel Milner becoming Australia’s most successful domestic off-road racer, after clinching his sixth Outright Pro Enduro crown. Milner etched his name into the history books by eclipsing Toby Price’s record of five Outright titles to stand alone as the country’s winningest domestic rider with six championships, while also emerging atop the E2 Class podium for the 2025 season.

“I’m absolutely stoked with what we’ve achieved this year, both personally and as a team,” said Milner. “To take the record as Australia’s most successful off-road racer is a real honour, and for the team to also clean-sweep the senior titles is surreal. I felt nervous coming into this weekend, as I’ve struggled to get back into the groove after returning from the Six Days. I just focused on keeping it upright and staying smooth – it paid off with another E2 title as well, and one that’s really special to me. We had a great team behind us, and the support we received this year has played a huge role in putting us on the top step across the classes. The results we achieved show just how good the KTMs are, and the riders we have on them.”

Entering the final two rounds with a 33-point advantage in the E1 category, Milner’s teammate Jonte Reynders arrived with a clear goal to achieve championship success in Queensland. Equipped with his KTM 250 XC-F, the 28-year-old sealed his first-ever national title win after Saturday’s penultimate round, before earning a convincing victory on Sunday to cap off an exceptional year.

“I’m really stoked to take my first off-road championship after finishing runner-up the past two years,” commented Reynders. “It hasn’t been an easy campaign – I came into the first two rounds while still recovering from a foot and knee injury, and I’ve had a thumb injury since Hattah that I’ve had to deal with the past few months. This weekend, I tried not to think too much about the championship and kept pushing hard to try and win ProEnduro Outright, which I think helped me stay focused. I’m really happy with what we’ve achieved this year, we’re a small team, but we’ve recorded some massive results.”

Meanwhile, the E3 Class title belonged to fellow teammate Korey McMahon, with two round wins contributing to him lifting his first senior trophy in 2025. McMahon and his KTM 500 EXC-F made light work of the deep dust and technical sections to comfortably claim the class win on both days, while narrowly missing out on Pro Enduro Outright honours on Sunday’s final round by under six seconds.

“Conditions were tough here at Gympie, but I stayed consistent and got better as the weekend went on,” said McMahon. “The deep dust caught me out a couple of times yesterday, but today I was able to stay mistake-free, despite the tests being fast and rocky. This is my first senior class title and my first Pro Enduro Outright podium, and it feels really good to tick off those goals. I’ve loved being on the KTM 500 EXC-F this year, and I think we’re in a really good spot going into 2026.”
