Proven reliability: the XT 660 R enjoys a worldwide reputation for mechanical strength and durability. This is crucial for packaged tours, where the bike has to withstand thousands of kilometers over varied terrain without requiring complex mechanical interventions.

Handling and technical trails: With its 21-inch front wheel, long suspension travel(225 mm} at the front) and low weight (approx. 181 kg dry), it offers exceptional handling on the technical trails, gravel and rocky terrain of the Atlas Mountains.

Engine torque: Its single-cylinder engine generates excellent torque at low revs, perfect for slow passages and extraction in sand or gravel, offering faithful, reassuring traction.

Road/track versatility: the XT 660 R excels on asphalt for links between stages, while retaining all the capabilities of a true off-road bike for exploration. It allows you to cover long distances comfortably before tackling the Moroccan trails.
