Legendary off-road rider and 8-time New Zealand Enduro overall champion, Chris Birch, is the latest big-name to be confirmed for this year’s ABR Festival.
A self-confessed life-long motorcycle addict, Chris is known for his mind-blowing riding and competitive success, with a string of high-profile accolades to his name including 8x New Zealand Enduro overall championships, 3x Roof of Africa titles and 7x podium finishes at the Red Bull Romaniacs competition – one of the toughest off-road races in the world.
A history of enduro racing…
Born in 1980 in Broxburn, Scotland, Chris moved to Auckland, New Zealand when he was just six years old. Just two short years later he started competing on trials bikes, winning each class he competed in by the time he was 18.
Discovering his passion and ability for enduro riding, he later went on to win National Championships in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
This success ultimately lead him to competing in extreme enduro events, riding to victory in the Roof of Africa Enduro three years running between 2008 and 2010, and finishing in the top three at the Red Bull Romaniacs every year from 2007 to 2011, with a win in 2010 and fourth and sixth positions in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
Today, Chris spends his time running training clinics for riders of all abilities, as well as applying his mind-blowing riding skills at demos, product launches and digital content for his sponsors Kriega and KTM.
