Chinese motorcycle brand ZXMoto has announced it will compete in the 2027 Dakar Rally with a purpose-built 450 Rally machine. The team will be run by Joyride Race Service, with Austrian rider Tobias Ebster — winner of the 2024 Dakar's 'Original by Motul' class — as lead rider. The Rallye du Maroc in late September will serve as a key tune-up race.

Feels like a new era, a Chinese brand going all in on the Dakar. Ebster's the real deal — he won the Original class back in 2024. Building up through the Rallye du Maroc in late September before the main event tells me they're serious about training in the field, not just showing up. That kind of commitment is what I respect most.

What's actually different about the Original class vs regular Dakar?

Entering the 450 class with MXGP plans too shows they're serious.

Whether they can crack KTM and Honda's grip is anyone's guess.
