Motul and KOVE are joining forces again, this time at the 2026 China Dahaidao International Motorcycle Off-Road Rally, following their partnership at the 2026 Dakar Rally earlier this year. 2,500km. Six stages. Unforgiving Xinjiang terrain.
It's not luck that gets a factory team through conditions like these. It's preparation. Motul doesn't stop testing when a race ends every event, every terrain, every extreme is another round of development, because performance isn't proven once. It's proven again, and again, and again.
At the 2026 Dakar Rally, KOVE's Neels Theric claimed three Rally2 stage victories, the first Dakar stage win for a Chinese manufacturer.
That result doesn't happen by chance. It happens because the team, and the products behind them, are tested relentlessly before the race ever starts.
Now KOVE factory team, Sunier, Milan Engel and Martin Michek, take that same standard into CHNDHD 2026.
Proud to back KOVE as they take on the extreme, again.
