KENDA Athletes Shine at the 2025 Life Time Grand Prix

The 2025 Life Time Grand Prix Series wrapped up after another year of epic racing — a true test of endurance, strength, and resilience. Spanning six grueling events that push riders across every imaginable terrain, from rugged mountain trails to endless gravel roads, the Grand Prix demands not just speed, but also mental toughness, strategic patience, and the ability to suffer and adapt.

KENDA Tires is incredibly proud of our four professional athletes who met that challenge head-on and finished the series among the best in the world.

The Life Time Grand Prix is more than a race series; it’s a year-long journey of perseverance through physical and mental extremes. KENDA's riders showed what it truly means to endure, adapt, and push beyond limits, and we couldn’t be more proud!

Winning matters, but it’s their journey —overcoming obstacles and their determination to finish every race — that truly inspires us.

Congratulations to Melisa, Hannah, Alexey, and Brandan — your hard work and heart represent the best of KENDA performance!
