The winter raid in Mongolia, in the heart of January, is exclusively for very experienced riders. It involves long stages in isolated areas, far from any emergency infrastructure. In case of emergency, the first assistance to reach the nearest medical center is mainly provided by our assistance vehicle, as rapid evacuation means such as helicopters or ambulances are extremely rare in these regions. Telephone coverage being limited and unstable, contact with emergency services can be difficult. As with any itinerary in extreme winter conditions and at altitude, the condition of the tracks and the difficulty of the route depend heavily on weather conditions, before and during the trip.
For safety reasons related to extreme temperatures, each sidecar will be occupied by two riders who will alternate driving and passenger positions every 1 to 1.5 hours to limit prolonged exposure to cold and fatigue.
