As seen in The visordown: Vanessa Ruck, known as The Girl on a Bike, will be looking to be the first woman to complete the 1000 Dunas Raid on a standard adventure bike with Triumph.

Triumph has announced that it will have a Tiger 900 Rally Pro in action at the 2022 1000 Dunas Raid ridden by Vanessa Ruck.

Ruck, 36, will be attempting to become the first woman to complete the 1000 Dunas Raid – which takes riders 1,200km from Spain to Morocco and back again – on a standard adventure bike.

As she has recovered, Ruck has found herself transferring her love of two-wheeled adventures from bicycles to motorcycles, and became the first woman to complete the Tunisian Desert Challenge before going on to complete many more rallies – including Red Bull Romaniacs, Qatar Baja and Rallye du Maroc – in the time since.

Vanessa Ruck said about the 1000 Dunas Raid: “The 1000 Dunas Raid is a momentous challenge, not simply due to the terrain, which is physically enduring, but also the mental strain it takes to navigate the route.

“I’ve chosen the Tiger 900 Rally Pro as it is the ideal companion for me to step up the challenge and push the limits of what both motorbikes and I can do.”

Although the 1000 Dunas Raid (‘Dunas’ meaning ‘dunes’ in Spanish) is an international event – starting in Granada, Spain, passing through Morocco and ending back in the same Spanish city – it will be the second major Spanish-based rally raid event that Triumph has participated in this year.
