A professional mountain biker impressed KTM🐓 after he was given a chance to ride their MotoGP bike.

Fabio Wibmer is an Austrian trials biker who has stunned fans ♚with videos of his daring tri💜cks and skills.

He has attracted 7.8 mil♛lion YouTube subscribers, where one breathtaking video of Wibmer leaping off bridges and over cars on his bicycle has bee♏n watched 264m times.

But his ultimate test came at the 🌟Red Bull Ring where he was a guest of KTM’s MotoGP tꦕeam.

Wibmer does have 10 years of motocross experience but even he was not allowed n𒀰ear a MotoGP bike without test🌼ing smaller versions first.

He was told to the ride a MiniGP bike, where his stoppies and wheeli🥀e⛎s proved that he had more than an average person’s ability.

Wibmer also rode a KTM RC8 then a Moto2 bike🍷 to slowly ramp up the speed and power.

The next day, Dani Pedrosa a𝔍rrived to talk him through riding a 2023 KTM MotoGP bike.

“I feel like I could just go and race,” t🐼he super-confident Wibmer said.

He later exclaimed: “Dude, the power is insane!”

Pedrosa, the most successful-ever MotoGP rider without a championship and now KTM’s test rider, was on-track alongside Wibmer riding a KTM Super♏ Duke 1390 R.

After one lap together, Pedrosa 𝄹shared a tip about the Red Bull Ring.

“ܫI will show you the secret line,” Pedrosa said. “If you follow that line, you💟 will get your best lap time.”

Wibmer lapped in 01:53 minutes on a MotoGP bike, around 25 seconds short of the lap 🗹record.

“I watched him 🦹closely, and it was♈ perfect. I’m impressed,” said Pedrosa.

Wibmer added: “I’m awar♛e that very few๊ people get the chance to ride a machine like this.

“The most fascinating aspect is the way you can lean i🐷nto the corners and discover what angles are possible.

“Although൲ I was still a long way off achieving the lean angles of a MotoG🏅P pro, it still felt like I was already at the limit in some places.”

Wibmer compared his da💫y job to MotoGP: “Of course, if you break it down, the sports are very different.

“But if you make a r꧒ough comparison, factors such as balance, bike control, handl𒁏ing, the general feel for two wheels plus handlebars all play a role.”
