Off-roading isn’t about looking pretty—it’s about adventure, grit, and pushing limits. But just because you don’t mind getting a little dirty doesn’t mean you want to derail all your hard work to stay fresh, clear, and confident in your day-to-day. The dust, sweat, and sun can be brutal, and if you’re not careful, a weekend of riding can leave you with tangled hair, breakouts, dry skin, or worse—dehydration and discomfort.

Women and motorsports have been a long time in coming around to each other all over the world. Sure, there were women drivers in the earliest automotive rallies in Monte Carlo and England, but it was a rare occurrence. It took until 1977 for the Indianapolis 500 to see Janet Guthrie make the field. Everyone knows about Danica Patrick in NASCAR, but who remembers Sara Christian, who entered the first NASCAR event in 1949 at Charlotte Motor Speedway?

Today, the racers returned to the big dunes, this time bypassing the famous Kino Cross for another equally notorious waypoint, Ben's Cross. They faced towering sand mountains, fast, open, silty two-track, and a crescendo of battles in a final push for the podium. Unlike many rally raids, the Sonora Rally was filled with endless twists and turns—both literally and figuratively—making it difficult to predict a clear winner until the very last day, especially among the Auto categories.

The unforgiving beauty of the Sonoran sands set the stage for today’s Special Stage 4 (SS4). From the desolate, slippery road at the D.S.S., where solitude reigned and the distant train tracks whispered of long-forgotten journeys, to the near-invisible track blending into the barren expanse of the A.S.S., the terrain offered both awe and adversity. The course twisted through soft, loose roads before giving way to the towering dunes of the Grand Altar Desert—nature’s own coliseum where today’s competitors fought for every second.

We get it—sometimes you're short on time. No need to dive into a full review or sit through a video when you can just scroll through a photo gallery at your desk. Here's your quick, silent introduction to the 2025 Yamaha Wolverine RMAX4 1000 XT-R—a side-by-side that’s all about balance. With a beefy 999cc engine, plenty of suspension travel, and a design that screams adventure, it’s built for those who like to go big on tough trails, without feeling like you’re driving a tank.

TL;DR, when you have a minute, browse out this story-in-photos from the RMAX4 launch in Southern Utah.

I never imagined I’d fall in love with the sound of a 1,500-horsepower monster truck engine roaring to life, the smell of race fuel lingering in the air, the punch of an 11,000-horsepower top fuel engine roaring down a track. I never dreamed of the adrenaline rush that comes from stomping the skinny pedal of a Polaris RZR just a little harder as you navigate an obstacle on the other side of a rock face. But then, I married a gearhead. What started as tagging along for a quick trip to Las Vegas in 2013 for the Monster Jam Finals quickly ignited a passion all my own.

Look, uh. If I need to explain why I want this, maybe we can’t be friends. But while you’re here, let me give you my three-point presentation on why this stretched 1992 Freightliner Cab Over is the perfect side-by-side hauler.

You’re looking at the top of the Honda Talon food chain. The seller claims this 2019 Talon was once Jamie Campbell’s personal machine. You know, the dude behind  RaceCo, one of the Honda factory SXS race teams?

As the sun stretched its golden fingers across the horizon, Special Stage Three beckoned competitors toward the shimmering waters of the Sea of Cortez once again. This wasn’t just a repeat of SS2—no, this route carved a fresh narrative into the sand, one that lingered longer along the coastline, inviting racers into a mesmerizing duet with the ocean. It was a stage of contrasts: silky dunes softened by wind, yet firmer under tires than stages before; fast, flowing sections that let riders and drivers revel in their machines; and tight, twisting two-track corridors snaking through the silt, slippery and treacherous in the early light. They even drifted back into those strawberry hills for a bit of textural change of scenery—and trials.

The Road to Bahia Kino Offered Scenery, Speed, and a Fight for Survival

This month, the world celebrates women and all the multifaceted passions they all possess...among other great qualities (of course). That's why it's so fitting to share this High Gear Success YouTube episode featuring three-time WMX Champion Kinsey Osborn about how she's taking ATVMX racing to new heights. The host, Heather Wilson, is not only a moto badass herself but is also a PR maven known in the off-road industry (and beyond) as a clever wordsmith and shrewd entrepreneur.

The Sonoran Desert does not forgive. It does not forget. And it certainly does not make things easy. On Special Stage One (SS1) of the 2025 Sonora Rally, competitors got their first real taste of what the coming days have in store—and for many, it was a harsh awakening. What looked like a relatively mild start to the rally quickly turned into a gauntlet of punishing dunes, deceptive sand traps, and mechanical misfortunes.

You’re looking at one killer 2025 Polaris RZR Pro S, and the seller claims it has never been driven, somehow. Polaris recently played musical chairs with its naming structure, retiring the old “Turbo R” badge and replacing it with the Pro S line.
