HP2 enters Welsh rally

BMW is entering its new HP2 enduro bike in the Hafren Rally in Wales with a two-man team.

The rally takes place on a mixture of open hillside and forest tracks and is run along the same lines as an enduro event with riders lapping the 25-mile circuit twice in the day.

The two riders running the bike will be former European Enduro Championship runner-up Jonty Edmunds and freelance journalist Paul Blezard.

“I’m really looking forward to racing in this event,” said Edmunds. “I have never ridden in the Hafren before, but have raced in plenty of other rallies and think the HP2 will work well in this type of event. I first rode it at the international launch in Spain earlier this year and really liked it – it’s seriously fast. The bike is suited to the hard-based gravel and forest tracks that we will encounter at the Hafren.”
