The Steve Holcombe Story

2 years ago | Words: Andy Wigan | Photos: Betamotor, Galfer, KTM Images

Steve Holcombe may be a multiple World Enduro Champion, but when the Factory Beta rider helped Great Britain win this year’s FIM International Six Days of Enduro – the first time GB won the prestigious event since 1953 – it was an especially proud day for the likeable Brit.

But who is Steve Holcombe? What makes him tick? Where and when did his dirt-bike racing journey begin? When did he switch from MX to enduro? And what does this world champ’s training program look like? Check out this three-minute edit for answers to those questions.

Admittedly, there’s some gratuitous mentions for the Beta team’s braking sponsor, Galfer (who produced this video to help celebrate their 70th anniversary), but all the same, it’s cool to get a candid insight into Holcombe backstory and personality. Enjoy…

WHO IS STEVE HOLCOMBE?

Steve Holcombe, together with Beta teammate and fellow Brit, Brad Freeman, have won an astonishing total of 15 World Enduro Championship titles for Beta over the past six years – including a lock-out of the EnduroGP (Scratch/Outright) title for five years on the trot between 2017 and 2021.
