wo weeks, 5,600 miles and 3 countries…
It was a wild ride with a high rate of attri-
tion – we'd expect nothing less from the
toughest race in the world.
The 2015 Dakar Rally took riders from tem-
peratures over 100° F to below freezing, and
from sea-level to altitudes of over 16,000 feet
as the course crossed over one of the world's
most treacherous mountain ranges twice. Da-
kar is the embodiment of extreme and always
mesmerizes us with its dramatic beauty.
Enjoy a look back at the 2015 event, which
saw Red Bull KTM's Marc Coma celebrate
his fifth career victory, but not without some
strong opposition from Honda's HRC team.
