The upcoming weekend and the beginning of next week Team Honda Europe will pitch camp in the Moroccan mountains and desert to test the new Honda CRF 450 DakarX. The test team with most of the riders, mechanics and developing engineers wants to test the new bikes under the most extreme circumstances and race conditions.
For the upcoming Dakar we trust again on the proven quality of the Honda CRF 450 X. The bike will be equipped with the by HT Rally Raid developed special parts to transform the Honda into the Honda CRF 450 DakarX. The speed of the DakarX was proved last year when American Quinn Cody finished as Rookie of the Year 2011 on the ninth spot overall. The reliability also because all the riders made it to the finish line, after 6000 gruelling miles.
After the success of last year the team did not sit back, but worked even harder to improve the bike to an even higher standard so the fourteen riders can start on the very best bikes and service for the Dakar 2012 on January 1st in Mar del Plata.
