ATV's at the DAKAR Rally!

[GreatWhiteHunter]

Can-Am has been the only manufacturer that has consistently fielded teams in the DAKAR Rally and this year is no different. They have 2 Outlander 800's and 6 DS650X's in this years event. You can read about their efforts here - Can-Am DAKAR Team info

The Outlander 800 H.O. EFI


More than ATV's race the DAKAR, a 16 day race from Lisbon, Portugal to Senegal in Africa. There are bike, car and truck classes and Robby Gordon is competing in the car class again this year. Yes, an SUV is a "car" in the DAKAR! You can see the results or pick up some more info about the DAKAR here - DAKAR.com

That has to be a hell of a exhausting race....
I like this quote form the site...

the SST frame that virtually skis over logs, rocks and other obstacles.

At what speed????
Maybe I will get the chance to find out some day on a demo ride.
