P.A.R HOMES KTM Enduro Team reveals itself ahead of the 2026 EnduroGB round one this weekend with riders Dan Mundell, Jack Edmondson and Rees Jones set for British, Welsh and European championships.  

KTM UK is shining a positive light back on the orange brand in British enduro with the announcement of the P.A.R Homes KTM official race team. The manufacturer has officially backed riders in previous years, but to put money behind Paul Rowlands’ Par Homes team for the 2026 season shows a commitment to enduro which has been lacking.

The three‑rider line-up is a strong one with experience and young talent forming a formidable team of Jack Edmondson, Dan Mundell and Rees Jones.

Returning to KTM machinery for the first time since 2016, 28‑year‑old Jack Edmondson enters 2026 as a manufacturer‑supported rider for the very first time. Already a standout in UK enduro and a multiple British Champion, Edmondson’s résumé includes the 2016 Youth World Championship, several successful years racing in the USA and a dominant 2025 season that saw him take both the Welsh 2 Day Enduro and Welsh Open Sprint Championship titles.

Having joined P.A.R Homes in 2025, Edmondson now reunites with the brand that launched his early career – this time with renewed focus and official KTM backing. Aboard the proven championship winning machine – the KTM 250 EXC-F – Jack sets his sights on the 2026 Welsh 2 Day Enduro, the British Enduro Championship and the ACU British Sprint Enduro Championship, the latter of which saw Jack take to the top step in the E1 class at the first round.

At just 18 years old, Llanidloes-born Rees Jones brings youthful energy and exceptional potential to the P.A.R Homes KTM squad. Immersed in KTM culture from day one thanks to his upbringing, Jones kicked off his racing career in motocross aged seven, charging through Hare and Hounds and into enduro – where success rapidly ensued.

In 2024, aged just 16, Jones stormed to the Clubman class overall victory at the Welsh 2 Day Enduro, the same season he made his EnduroGP debut. This momentum continued into 2025, where Jones earned a gold medal in his first-ever ISDE, cementing his rising‑star status on the international stage.

Now stepping confidently into the professional ranks with KTM UK backing, Jones will campaign both the KTM 125 XC‑W and KTM 250 XC‑W throughout a packed 2026 season that includes the British Enduro Championship, the Welsh Sprint and Enduro Championship and the EnduroGP Enduro Youth class. Jones' season starts at the first round of the British Enduro Championship in March.

Last but definitely not least, 26‑year‑old Dan Mundell returns to KTM machinery making it his third consecutive year riding orange – the colour that kickstarted his racing career. As a three‑time European Enduro Champion, former British Enduro Champion, Welsh Sprint Enduro Champion and three‑time Welsh 2 Day Enduro winner, Dan’s credentials speak for themselves and make him the perfect fit the 2026 KTM campaign.

Mundell will pilot the KTM 350 EXC‑F as he targets major results in both the British and European Championships this season, sending it into his season opener at the British Enduro Championship on 28th March.

Matt Walker, Managing Director of KTM UK: “Enduro is a huge part of KTM’s identity and supporting a team of this calibre demonstrates exactly where our focus lies for 2026. Jack, Rees and Dan represent the perfect blend of experience, ambition and raw talent. Each rider brings something unique but they all embody the same READY TO RACE mentality that drives our brand forward. We’re incredibly proud to back P.A.R Homes KTM this season and excited to see these riders push the limits on our latest-generation machines.”

Paul Rowlands, Team Manager of Par Homes KTM: “This season marks a huge step for the team. Bringing three riders of this quality together under the P.A.R Homes KTM banner raises the bar for what we can achieve in 2026. Jack, Rees and Dan are all proven racers with the hunger to fight for championships and support from KTM takes our programme to the next level, a statement proven by the results already achieved this season. We’ve worked hard to build an environment where riders can thrive and with this line-up and KTM behind us, we’re ready for a massive year.”
