To help with the number of bikes entering the UAE Desert Challenge for 2008 we did some of the pre-checking at both Gecko Motorcycles and KTM UAE on Friday 24 October. Below are some photos of riders franticly getting ready for the check at Gecko Motorcycles.
KTM Racing Team Update: UAE DC Prologue
It’s that time of the year when the peace and quiet of the desert is replaced with the roar of horsepower and dune bashing action. It’s time for the UAE Desert Challenge!
Come and join the KTM-UAE Racing Team at the Spectator Stage of the event to be held at the DMX Motocross track in Jebel Ali (in front of the Jebel Ali Hotel/Resort & Spa) on October 26 at 4pm. This event is a spectacle of over 100 Motorbikes, Cars and Truck battling for honors and a preview of what’s to come for the riders and drivers that will head out in to the desert for a weeklong adventure.
Our local UAE riders will be there along side the international KTM Factory Racing Team with the likes of Cyril Despres and Marc Coma (Paris-Dakar winners) and you can meet them in person. You will see the team’s incredible and professionally prepared KTM 690 Rally Replica’s and KTM 450 EXC Rally-prepped bikes as well as the KTM 525 XC Rally quads. These machines are designed for extreme riding conditions and you can see and hear them in action at the Spectator Stage.
