Shan's Favorite 2015 National Enduro Photos

December 15, 2015

The 2015 Kenda AMA National Enduro Series was one of the most highly competitive seasons in years, with six different riders claiming wins over the course of the nine-round schedule. In the end, FMF/KTM’s Kailub Russell walked away with the first national enduro title of his career, joining his father, Jeff Russell, as the only father-son duo to win the series title.

Photographer Shan Moore complied his favorite shots of the 2015 season for this tribute to the national enduro series.
