Erzberg's reputation as the world's toughest is earned -- it's a battlefield that grinds down both rider and machine to the limit. Bring ATVs into that mix and the racing lines and tactics get rewritten completely. Segway being behind it says something about the times too. I'll be watching with real interest to see what the new category brings to the race.

How well does an ATV actually suit a race billed as the world's toughest?

A four-wheel buggy has a different kind of crash risk than a bike, so they might adjust the course design for it.

Segway getting involved in hard enduro off-road is an unexpected combination.
