American Rally Originals - Taking on the Dakar Rally
We have assembled a Team of Americans to tackle the toughest motorcycle class of the toughest race in the world - the renowned Dakar Rally. It is a 15 Day Extreme Rally Navigation Race throughout the landscapes of Saudi Arabia.
After finishing the Dakar Rally in 2020 (Supported with a mechanic and team) Kyle McCoy dug deep into the history of American finishers and realized (from old records and speaking with the organization): No American has ever finished in the “Malle Moto” class of Dakar in its 45 year history.
The “Malle Moto” class takes this race to another level. All racers must do this event with minimal to no support - allowed only one trunk (80 Litre box) of gear. The racers must sleep in tents, maintain and repair their own motorcycles and are allowed no support outside of fellow competitors. “It’s like choosing to run the Iditarod rather than taking a dog sled”, said David Pearson, Team Manager. A Team has been assembled and is being proactive on press and lead up coverage. We need your help to share and bring awareness to our goal.
