Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain. 2013 Dakar Rally - Media Guide.

Ready for the legendary desert rally.

Raw gravel routes, high sand dunes and deep riverbeds: this is the habitat of the Husqvarna rally bike. As such, it stands to reason that it should take on the ultimate challenge in off-road marathon racing – the Dakar Rally. The Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain will again have its sights set on the podium when it lines up at the 35th edition of the desert clas­sic in January 2013. The team from Stephanskirchen (GER) will receive factory support from Husqvarna Motorcycles and the BMW Group. The bike charged with achieving success in South America in January is the Husqvarna TE449RR by Speedbrain, which made its debut at the 2012 Dakar Rally and has since been further developed in all areas. This time, a total of five of the off-road bikes, which were devel­oped and assembled in Stephanskirchen, will line up at the start at the start. The four bikes of the team will be ridden by Joan Barreda (ESP), Paulo Gonçalves (POR), Alessandro Bot­turi (ITA) and Matt Fish (AUS). In addition, there is an agreement between Speedbrain and Jordi Viladoms (ESP), who will use a TE449RR as a privateer at the 2013 Dakar Rally.
