Why We Ride (Video)
Monster Energy Honda HRC unveils its latest YouTube feature, Why We Ride, a raw and compelling look at the riders who push beyond limits in the world’s toughest off-road competition: Rally Raid.
This isn’t just a race, it’s survival. The film captures the grit, obsession, and relentless pursuit of victory by Ricky Brabec, Tosha Schareina, Skyler Howes, and Adrien Van Beveren as they prepare for the 2026 World Rally Raid Championship.
“I’m happy with the team and the bike. I’ve been improving day by day, rally by rally. My goal is to win—100%. I’ve done it twice, and it can definitely be done a third time. But the skill level coming into rally now is so high, you never know who’s going to win. The level just keeps evolving—faster, stronger—and you have to evolve too.”
— Ricky Brabec, on his 11th Dakar
Rally Raid is not for the weak. It’s for those who crave the edge, fuelled by obsession. Riders endure sandstorms, scorching heat, and isolation. They navigate treacherous terrain, conquer dunes, and stare down the wilderness, all driven by a single truth.
The podium is never given; it’s earned through pain, scars, and relentless determination.
The 2026 World Rally Raid Championship kicks off with Dakar (January 3–17, Saudi Arabia) and continues through five diverse rounds in Portugal, Argentina, Morocco, and Abu Dhabi.
