Sailun Tyre, together with its Italian customer Tagliabue Gomme, made its debut as a tyre partner at the Dakar Rally, the world’s most demanding and prestigious rally event.
S910 Tyres Prove Performance and Reliability Across All Dakar Rally Stages
The Italian team GeaLife Motorsport completed all stages safely and reliably on tyres from Sailun, praising the manufacturer’s strengths. Sailun Tyre congratulates the GeaLife Motorsport rally team on finishing in the Dakar Classic roster at this year’s Dakar Rally.
Two teams, led by Giuseppe Simonato and Giorgio Porello, completed all 13 demanding stages of the rally. They covered 7,281 kilometres, including 4,162 kilometres against the clock, in their Iveco 190 and Magirus ‘Misone’ trucks on Sailun S910 14.00 R20 tyres.”
Both crews praised the off-road tyres for their resilience and stability under the unique, extreme conditions that the Dakar Rally constantly throws at people and equipment.
“Sailun congratulates both GeaLife Motorsport teams on their achievements and impressive perseverance. No simulation can predict the conditions that the Dakar Rally will throw at all the equipment, which is why we are extremely proud of the Sailun S910, which exemplifies our company’s qualities and has fearlessly and successfully faced this unique endurance test,” explains Harry Wang, General Manager of Sailun Group Europe.
