“This years Dakar was a massive improvement from last year due to the extra time for preparation and organization from the team. This year I had some physical problems but I was able to overcome them finally after rest day on stage 6 where I was able to lead the stage until the very end where I made a small mistake costing me the stage win. It’s upsetting but this is rally. Unfortunately my engine broke the next day due to how hard I was pushing my bike this year but it was a massive improvement because the engine did last me 40 hours racing compared to last Dakar which was only a stage and a half. I’m sure the entire team knows what needs to happen for us to come back next year.”

Mason Klein

This year, we put significant effort into Mason’s bike. As a new model, we pushed it to its limits, testing innovative technologies and components that still require further validation. During the 2025 DAKAR, we gathered valuable data, making all our efforts worthwhile. We’re determined to return stronger, aiming for our goal of creating a top-performing competitive bike.
