Watch Graham Jarvis Dominate The 2017 Hell's Gate Extreme Enduro
In case you don’t know, Hell’s Gate is one of the most intense extreme enduro events, and Italy’s most popular. The single day event includes a three-hour main event that includes a host of nearly impossible terrain for the challengers to ride over, around, and through. We’re talking piles of logs to climb, yards of rocks to traverse, and narrow passages lined with trees to navigate through. Not to mention the mud, water, and weather the riders have to deal with.
It’s by no means an easy event, as a simple Youtube search will point out, nor is it for the inexperienced. But none of that matters to Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Graham Jarvis. Jarvis easily topped the results of the qualifying session, then stayed cool, calm, consistent, and fast, as he claimed his fifth Hell’s Gate win at the 2017 event – four minutes ahead of his next nearest rival.
How tough is Hell’s Gate? Check out the video below.

A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.

Not too many dirt riders here. They are out riding.
Nice to know what the bike is capable of even if I am not.
