The seven-day Fenix rally in the sands and deserts of Tunisia has come to an end – over the week, the riders faced countless challenges and tests, conquering nearly three thousand kilometers of difficult, fast, and at times extremely slow tracks and routes. For the CFMOTO Thunder Racing Team, the early days brought various technical setbacks – malfunctioning roadbooks and poor-quality fuel that disrupted engine performance – but the finish was finally reached and crossed on a

The seven-day cross-country rally challenge in Tunisia is nearing its end – today, the riders returned to the city of Monastir, where on Thursday, after completing the final stage, they’ll cross the ceremonial finish arch.

The fifth day of the Fenix rally in the sands and deserts of Tunisia brought more challenges for the participants, but this time of a different kind – while the previous days required maximum speed, today’s stages were mostly slow and demanding.

Both CFMOTO Thunder Racing Team riders successfully completed the long special stage, but once again had to reach the bivouac with a non-functioning engine.   “A day that took a lot out of me. After the first loop of about 170 kilometers, I was really exhausted and honestly didn’t want to start the second one. If there had been an option to stop ther

On Saturday, the second day of the Fenix rally, both CFMOTO Thunder Racing Team riders started in high spirits, expecting a fast and smooth racing day ahead. Unfortunately, halfway through the stage, things took a completely different turn, and one of the quads had to be towed back to the bivouac by a car.   “Everything started quite well. I really enjoyed the first kilometers of the stage, caught up with Antanas, and we continued riding together. In the second half of the st

The seven-day Fenix Rally began on Friday in Tunisia, featuring two athletes from the CFMOTO Thunder Racing Team. Nearly 90 competitors lined up at the start, set to cover a total of 2,756 kilometers. However, problems began even before the first engines were fired up.   Just days before the rally, organizers announced that heavy rains had swept across the desert, flooding parts of the route and making them impassable.

While autumn rains have already reached Europe, the athletes will soon face the dry sands of the Sahara Desert – the week-long Fenix Rally kicks off on October 29. Among the competitors will be the CFMOTO Thunder Racing Team.
