Ricky Brabec

Ricky Brabec is an American rally-raid and desert racer whose career has taken him from the open desert of Southern California to the top step of the world's most demanding rally.

Growing up around motorcycles and the Mojave Desert, Ricky developed his speed and endurance through off-road racing before building a standout career in American desert competition.

His breakout 2014 season included victories at the San Felipe 250, Baja 500, Baja 1000 and Vegas to Reno. That success helped open the door to international rally-raid competition and eventually a factory ride with Honda.

Ricky has since established himself as one of the leading American riders in rally-raid history, combining desert speed, navigation, endurance and consistency at the highest level of the sport.
