Standard, first time motorbike racers pay $3,515 beginning April 1. Returning racers pay only $2,085 in December only. 

MALLE MOTO CATEGORY (unsupported) 
The newly updated website revealed the addition of the Malle Moto category which will be co-managed by the notable adventure tour operator Juan Carlos Pacheco and BAJA VOYAGER. Riders will not receive any mechanical support and will have 2 gear boxes and spare wheels transported to each bivouac. It’s one of the best ways to make an already challenging rally even harder to complete.
