    My Malle Moto Machine

    In Dakar, your bike isn't just equipment — it's your lifeline. It has to survive thousands of kilometres of dunes, rocks, heat, and punishment. It has to be simple enough to repair in the dark after 12 hours of racing, yet strong enough to carry you through the toughest terrain on Earth.

    My rally bike is built with one purpose: to finish Dakar in the Malle Moto class.

    Base Model

    A proven 450cc rally platform known for durability, serviceability, and long‑distance performance. It's the perfect foundation for a rider who has to do every repair alone.

    Rally Modifications

    • Navigation tower with roadbook, ICOs, and lighting

    • Extended fuel range for 250–300 km stages

    • Reinforced cooling system for desert heat

    • Heavy‑duty skid plate and protection

    • Rally suspension tuning for dunes and high‑speed stability

    • Ergonomic cockpit setup for long hours on the bike

    Why This Setup Matters

    In Malle Moto, you don't get a mechanic. You are the mechanic. Every bolt, every cable, every bearing must be accessible, reliable, and field‑serviceable.

    This bike is built not just to perform — but to survive.
