In January 2026, at the 48th Dakar Rally, the Spanish Arctic Leopard Galicia Team returned to compete in the Mission1000 (M1000) class.

Fielding multiple international riders aboard upgraded EXE 880 RALLY race bikes, the team finished 1st, 3rd, and 4th in the M1000 category.

By securing the championship and 3rd place once again, they set the best-ever result for any Chinese motorcycle brand in Dakar history.

Arctic Leopard continues to validate the extreme reliability and performance of its domestically developed electric off-road motorcycles on the ultimate proving ground of the Dakar Rally.
