TKO Weekend Deep-Dive: Formats, Amateurs, and Gutish Women’s Win
There was more to the Red Bull Tennessee Knockout at Trials Training Center in Sequatchie, Tennessee (Aug 28-30) than the Pro podium, which we covered in our results story. Drawing on Cycle News's September 4, 2026 recap, here's the event format, Amateur notes, and Rachel Gutish's Women's class win.
Trail Roamer Editorial TeamSep 4, 2026 · 1 min readThe 16th Red Bull Tennessee Knockout wrapped August 28-30, 2026 at Trials Training Center in Sequatchie, Tennessee. Trail Roamer’s primary results story covers Manuel Lettenbichler’s third straight TKO win over Trystan Hart and Billy Bolt. This companion piece stays on weekend texture.
Format context from published recaps: TKO remains a multi-day hard-enduro showcase combining qualifying and knockout-style racing that rewards bike control on off-camber Tennessee rock as much as raw enduro fitness. Amateur classes and support programs are part of the same weekend footprint - not an afterthought paddock.
On the Women’s side, Rachel Gutish won the Women’s class per Cycle News and Dirt Bike Magazine notes tied to the event. Gutish’s TKO result sits alongside her EnduroGP Women’s title season referenced in our Wales finale coverage.
Hart finished the AMA National Hard Enduro season as champion with 205 points per Dirt Bike Magazine - a season story already building from Hollow Point, with TKO as the festival finale rather than the clinching round.
The published reports don't list every Amateur class winner or lap time, so we've stuck to what they do cover. Cycle News's full recap has the complete Amateur sheets.
