The first-ever Red Bull Ace of Dirt event was held at the Big Rock Dirt Pack, honing ground for India’s Dakar trailblazer, CS Santosh. This super-serious off-road race combined enduro, motocross and dirt-track disciplines to create a challenging event. With a total of 32 riders, including some national champions, the Ace of Dirt proved to be as demanding on riders as it was on their machines. The 4-rider final heat was held on specially-configured Hero XPulse 200s equipped with a rally kit, and it was a dramatic finish, with Yuva Kumar emerging as the winner.

With logs, tyre mines, ramps (including see-saws), a downhill approach into a mud pit (aptly termed the ‘mud pie’) and a maze, the course called on the riders to do more than just twist the throttle. Think you want to sign up for the next round? Think again!
