VICTORY BELONGS TO US

The 47th Dakar Rally concluded after a grueling 15 days. With 12 stages and a total distance of over 7,700 KM, including a 48-hour timed section and a marathon stage, the event was a massive test for vehicles, riders, and logistics alike.

In the motorcycle category, 134 riders started, but 45 were forced to withdraw. Our emotions fluctuated throughout the event—ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and moments of heartache. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Dakar Rally captivates us so much.

There were no absolute smooth sailing, nor were there constant adversities. We are grateful to our fellow riders who joined us in this Dakar 2025 season, filled with joy, disappointment, pain, and warmth.

#98 Mason from the Kove Factory Team shone brightly, especially in stages SS4, SS5, and SS6, bringing us many touching moments.

There are many more memorable people and events that enriched the Dakar Rally, making the "desert" less barren.

In Dakar 2025, everyone shone in their own way, staying humble in good times and resilient in bad times.

A hard earned 15th place, the best performance for a Chinese manufacturer. Our factory rider #66 Neels achieved an overall ranking of 15th, setting a new record for domestic motorcycles in Dakar history.

Competing against the world's leading motorcycle manufacturers and teams, every step up the ranking required immense effort. The Kove Factory Team has come a long way from an overall ranking of 46th in 2023 (set by Sunier) to 15th in 2025, a leap of 31 places over three seasons. This progress was hard-earned.
