Italian-based Flite Extreme team has tied up a deal with British rider Graham Jarvis (pictured right) to take on the toughest Extreme Enduro races as well as the World Indoor Enduro Championship aboard the newly released Husaberg TE 300 two-stroke model with immediate effect.
The team, managed by Marco Caribotti, has already a long-standing relationship with the former top trials rider, nowadays top Extreme Enduro competitor. They have been working together over the last three-years establishing Graham as top contender in any Enduro event that can be called ‘tough' or ‘extreme'.
Jarvis, 35-years-old, from Sturry, near Canterbury, won his first trial event at the age of ten and worked his way up to World Championship level where he was a regular contender for top results from 1996 onwards.
He claimed his first World Championship round victory in 2001 and has won the infamous Scott Trial no less than nine times.
As the sport of Extreme Enduro became more and more popular in recent years years, Graham decided to give it a go and found the support of a well set-up team in Italy, which will from now on operate under the name of ‘Flite Extreme Husaberg Racing Team'.
As Graham quickly established himself as one of the top riders in Extreme Enduro his list of achievements is already quite impressive:– Winner Red Bull Romaniacs 2008; 2nd place Hell's Gate 2008; 2nd place Red Bull Hare Scramble at Erzberg 2009; 2nd place Hell's Gate 2010, 2nd aplace Red Bull Romanaics 2010.
Despite these successes Graham, together with his team, felt it was time for a major change in terms of machinery in order to take the next step of making the podium and especially the top spot more consistently and also becoming a real podium contender in the World Indoor Enduro Championship.
The Briton's desire was clear this July as Husaberg, for the first time in its 22-year history, launched its two-stroke models. The TE 300 is now his weapon of choice.
The team's first outing on the new machine will be the Extreme Lagares race, in Portugal, on October 17.
After this first test under racing conditions, the team will fully focus on the World Indoor Enduro Championship, which starts on November 27 in Genoa, Italy.
