Ricky Brabec’s journey from California desert races to Dakar glory is the stuff of legend. He honed his skills in the brutal Hare & Hound and Baja scenes before stepping onto the global stage with the Monster Energy Honda Rally Team.
After years of pushing the limits and narrowly missing the top step, Brabec made history in 2020 by becoming the first American to win the Dakar Rally. In 2024, he did it again - solidifying his legacy as a two-time champion. Tough, humble, and always charging forward, Brabec continues to lead the charge for American rally-raid success.
