Corey McMahon won the 2026 Hattah Desert Race on his KTM DM31 Racing machine, claiming back-to-back victories. It was a race where the reigning champion demonstrated his skill at one of Australia's most grueling desert events.
A desert race is a battle not just of speed, but of how you keep both machine and body holding together. Winning consecutively is proof of overwhelming overall skill. The finish with the KTM must have been considerable too. Anyone watching this riding on the ground must have been shaking.

Local Australian races barely get covered internationally, so an article like this is genuinely valuable.
Right, Oceania's off-road scene deserves a lot more attention than it gets.
How far does the Hattah Desert Race actually run?
The exact distance isn't in the article, but I believe this is a brutal endurance race covering several hundred km through the desert.
Being back-to-back wins makes me curious about last year's result too, how close was that margin?
Being back-to-back wins, the accumulated machine setup carried over from the previous race probably paid off too.
Just watching a race tearing through the desert gets my adrenaline up, would love to see footage if there is any.
The Hattah Desert Race is famous for how brutal it is, so a repeat win is proof of real skill.
KTM delivering results in desert racing again shows their off-road strength is as solid as ever.
