Who's excited for Dakar 2024?? All you need to know www.redbull.com/int-en/events/dakar-rally

300cc 2 stroke, one wheel drive vs 3.5lt twin turbo, four wheel drive. Wade did a great job to keep the gap so small 👌

That rock flick at 3:31 is crazy.

"With age comes the cage", Wade risked so much more in every corner 😅

Should have been a Dakar bike vs the Dakar car, and for the spectacle, could have thrown in one of the massive Dakar trucks!

Given some test runs I am more than sure that both of them will be able to shave off even more time ; it should have been a 450cc Dakar bike though .

One of the few terrains where 4 wheels wins. More technical terrain would have tilted the tables significantly. The dirtbike was traction limited on the loose rocks. You put any kind of boulders or trees in the way and a dirtbike smokes anything.

Lesotho resident here so proud to see this video❤❤❤❤

As soon as a saw the conditions of the road I knew it would be the truck. All that loose over hard pack makes traction very difficult for bikes to corner and accelerate. The AWD and 4 wheels is a big advantage in those conditions.

The Race was more for pleasure. The view, the track and the sound❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you all🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I just want an extended cut of only the FPV drone follow, by far the best shot

I was just talking about this the other day. I've been on that road - in a bus. It was terrifying.

Rode this pass on a bicycle. Never had a problem with washing out on a single corner going uphill once!!!!

Perfect sportman spirit ! Kudos!!!

Enjoyed this as I have done the pass in winter and enjoyed a beer or two in the pub. Amazing scenery and enjoyed the snow at the top, scary to think how quick these two did this.

A 4 stroke 450 would have been far faster Why select a 2 stroke of smaller displacement?

One driven wheel vs. four driven wheels. Good effort for the moto, and it's still the winner in my book.

I don’t know what I did to get RB recommended on my page finally, but I’d do it again. 🔥

Much more respect to the motorcyclist. You need major skill and physical endurance to do that.

Wow this is amazing love your work.

A four stroke rally bike would have been faster than the bike they used. Still, that rider kept it really close on that two stroke that was struggling to keep the rear wheel hooked up.

This track should be yearly event like Pikes Peak! This was soooo good!

Reposted Comment: In my humble opinion the bike would be on the back end of it all the way. Firstly we have a single traction/drive source versus four on the Dakar buggy. Add to that the loose gravel sand and rocks. It's a no brainer. Put the same kind of power down on a race track in similar power to weight ratios, the bike will most certainly take it...WELL IF the track has sweeping corners to add to the argument. If the race track has sharp bends, a race car has once again far more going for it through corners than the bike which has the rider coming in hard on the brakes before accelerating again. To prove the point there is a video I think with a Lambo and a superbike around Monza, and the car took the flag. This to me is more like a publicity stunt for RedBull and the Toyota Dakar truck. Well anyhow, a great video and great action from both Geniel and Wade. I remember doing a stint around Zwartkops with Geniel once many moons ago in a Nissan 350Z.... Pooofff the years had gone by, but Geniel still has the edge!

To do that on a dirt bike, you have balls of steel!! 4 wheels it would be so much easier.

It should have been a race to the top, and free for both which way to take up there. I am not familiar with the venue, but I would suspect the hard enduro rider could do some impressive hillclimb-stunt to cut corners and arrive at the top even faster than when limited to follow the road up...

Im glad everyone noticed the equipment disparity here. They’re racing a rock crawler against a high speed weapon

For the upcoming race, he should ride a 450cc motocross bike. He will surely be able to run at the same pace.🏁

As soon as I saw all 4 tires spinning I knew who was gonna win. Also, so glad to see Klaus the goldfish diversifying his roles beyond “American Dad”.

Incredible!!

Why not compare it to Rally bike with rally driver?

2 stroke is good on trails not here, do it again with a proper 4 stroke 450.

despite all the motor sport geniuses in the comments.... I always thought bikes beat cars. Everytime. Watching it 3x, I do see the cycles limitations. 2 stroke is just fine, but a bigger displacement would even it up (and win) Lighter is always better. The rocks/traction put him down. The dude putting down the boot beer is a hero. You take your chances, and you pay your price... like a real man.

I've been up that road a few times on a dirtbike and a 4x4. Scary on a bike trying to go as fast as you can😅

Oh wow sensational😍😍

Pol Tarres on Yamaha Tenere 700 would win the car

I'm actually surprised it was that close.

As a cameraman ive been up this pass many times and yes its wild especially when snowing😊

Really interesting, but as many others I think the bike has a too small engine... I don't know if something could really change... but 4T bigger bike engine I think could take much more speed during straight road... Thanks for sharing!

I think a fair competition would be a 2wd truck. The bike struggled to get a drive out of the tight corners. Or a Christini 2wd bike...

You should race up mt Hutt road. Nice video.

I loved the shoe drinking that was hilarious 😁😆🤣💀, cool Video 👍💯

I like this host. He's great.

The sound of that two stroker is music!

As someone with a ktm and a rally car, I've often wondered which would be quicker.

Wade is an A1 hard enduro rider. That bike is designed for single track. Now let's see the rally Hilux try do that!

Very skilful bike rider, but both that bike and its rider are more suited to slower, tougher going then that. Perhaps next time have rally bike v rally car. And one of the big twins from back in the day (Yamaha or KTM) could have wiped the floor with the truck

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥... show

A big bore solid axle sport quad might actually do well here

Very cool video guys 👏

Balls of steel

Haven driven and ridden such roads in the American PNW, I expected this result, loose big rocks are sooooo destabilizing for a bike. Gravel or sand might help, but tighter turns, skinnier trails, or big boulders that a car would have to rock climb over but a bike could hop over or go around would help the bike for sure

Demn that truck is shreddingggg💪

that amaizing

Wade Young is a stud!

Adorei ❤❤❤🎉

Sani pass isnt that bad a road unless you drive it like that. It is THE ROAD up into eastern Lesotho and they take two wheel drive trucks up it and usually make it. Yes, the ZA guard gate will allow locals in 4x2 through, despite the 4x4 only sign for tourists like us. The only issue you may have in a 4x4 is when meeting oncoming traffic, it can be a narrow squeeze to get by.

amazing... 🙂

Haven't watched it but I'd imagine four wheels is quicker although bang for buck two wheels wins for me every time

👏👏👏gogogo Red Bull💪👊💪

was that shoe at the end worn? :))

A 700cc adventure bike would have been a more accurate comparison as far as power to weight and especially top speed. The 300 is probably topping out at 60 or 70 on the straights depending on the gearing but a 700 would have no problem hitting 90+ on dirt with a good rider.

That was Good Fun

$10K bike anyone can buy vs >$250K purpose built rally 4x4 racing on terrain that favoured the big 4x4….🤔

These guys know their stuff...😮

Maybe a just a regular size Red Bull instead of a king can for the announcer next time?

Thought the difference was going to ve bigger. But congrats to wade for doing it, not just because he is a hard enduro rider, but also he was on a two-stroke. Different story would have been if you put Josep Garcia in a 350 or 450 up that mountain. But at least we have an entertaining video.

I'd have cut some corners done a bit hill climbing 😂

I don't know who the 'host' was, but he was great. Very funny and I liked his enthusiasm. Usually I skip over the talking to get to the action, but not in this video.

I wonder what time difference there would be doing the same course, but going downhill? Or would that be just too insane?

That was always going to be a one-horse race

Yooo.......That truck more looks like an carnivores beast😂

Loose rocks , relatively flat road definitely had me predicting the truck before it started

Unbelievable I can't believe this how how

Eu gostei ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Need to run this in winter when all the hairpins are iced up

60kmh average with the bike is crazy

The Beast - CR 500 R would be a great choice to run against!

Now we have to see with an F1 car, MotoGP bike, and Rally Car as well!

VERY cool!! Its not 2 wheels vs 4, its 4 wheel drive vs 1. Not a huge surprise. Those giant Baja tires can make boulders into marbles. A few less mini boulders and a few more tighter turns and the bike may have had a better shot.

Road to 'smooth' for bike to have an advantage.

maza aaaya

Grrrrreat!

Got to admit my money was on the bike. Figured it had a better power to weight ratio, and better line options going up where the truck would be better breaking and hold a better average speed though the corners. I was guessing the truck would do 410ish.

I want some of whatever that presenter is on

do it again but in terrain that favors the dirtbike or somewhere it can take shortcuts as this terrain defiantly favored the car

Gazoo racing hi lux is a very cool truck 😅 Should have raced a 450 ktm😮

I like

I would agree with other viewers that this is not a fair comparison. You should have placed a Dakar Rally rider on his Dakar Rally bike against a Dakar Rally Car. Motocross and Dakar Rally are two completely different disciplines with different motorcycles.

Wonder what the power loss difference between the two was because of the attitude?

Best 3 outta 5

The time difference was the trucks ability to go in and out of the turns at higher rates of speed

Why not compare with a 500cc 4 stroke?

camera man never dies 4:00

Well, the there were literally to berms for the bike to ride against in the corners, which means the rider has to slow down to a crawl so they don't wipeout.

Perfect condition to favor the truck with all the rocks that are big enough to disrupt the bike but not too big to disrupt the truck. This might be the one in a million dirt roads the truck beats the bike.

4:04 up 4K rally

“One of the most dangerous roads in the world.” Looks like a typical forest service road in British Columbia.

Men live for adventures like these

Dejando aparte el bonito paisaje, la prueba es un poco absurda ( lo siento por los pilotos que tienen que hacer este tipo de exhibiciones en lugar de poder descansar con su familia). Utilizar una KTM 450 de rally hubiera sido más adecuado que la moto de enduro de 300 cc y 2t.

I know nothing about Rally but I honestly thought that the bike would have had a bigger advantage in the corners. The bike just could not overcome the displacement. That rally car was pretty impressive. Very cool to watch. I would like to see more scenarios like this.
