KLIM Technical Riding Gear
There is no riding gear on the planet that is more well thought out or carefully crafted than KLIM. After spending 6 seasons traversing the BAJA peninsula and traveling in the US and abroad covering off road events, I have gone through a lot of riding gear. KLIM's 'rider designed' all weather solutions pack more technology and design innovations than most riders will ever need to know. And that's okay because all you need to focus on is the track ahead. At the end of the day safety, comfort and durability is what you get-becasue that's all you really need. - Scotty Breauxman, BAJA RALLY LLC

Baja Olive
Baja Olive, the preeminent olive oil produced exclusively in the rich lands of Baja California, joins the Inaugural Baja Rally as a supporting sponsor. The BAJA RALLY is so much more than a cross-country motorsports event. As a “cultural exchange” of Baja California’s rich history and resources, Baja Olive’s award winning oils fit perfectly into the Rally’s mission of sharing Baja’s emerging reputation as a global destination for music, art, cuisine and winemaking. Baja Olive is the preeminent cooking oil grown in the fertile lands of Baja California Norte.“There are so many hidden aspects of Baja we want to share with the world”, explains BAJA RALLY director Scotty Breauxman. “It’s important that our participants and support crews receive an education of Baja’s important contributions as a global leader in the arts and epicurean culture.” Breauxman continued, “As our event moves through Baja’s rural towns and villages for overnight stops, everyone involved becomes immersed in local cultures and to each region’s contribution to Baja’s robust cultural emergence.”
The format of the BAJA RALLY and the intellectual aspects of navigation and preparation lend themselves to a more sophisticated and civilized sporting experience for participants and spectators alike. It’s a dynamic exchange of ideas that transcends typical off road motorsports.
Produced exclusively in the rich lands of Baja California Norte, Baja Olive has been certified “Baja California’s Best” and has been recognized by the State of Baja California’s Secretary of Agriculture Promotion, in their “Baja California’s Best Association Program” that annually registers and certifies such recognitions.
The Inaugural BAJA RALLY is the very first “road book” navigation based rally-raid for motorcycles to be held in BAJA CA and will take place October 4-6 on a series of secret stage routes beginning in the historically rich wine making region of Northern Baja CA. Participants will be tested on the their ability to read foreign terrain and navigate through the hills, valleys, mountains and canyons of Baja California’s spectacular landscapes.

Rally Navigation Training By Jimmy Lewis
DAKAR stage winner and podium finisher Jimmy Lewis offers comprehensive rally navigation training programs in Pahrump, NV but not during the summer. These "one-off" programs average around $500 per day (without bike) and the price can get better when you bring a few buddies. As little as 2 days are needed as the training involves a half day of classroom training as well as actual practice stages on a handful of local routes. Those 2 days with Jimmy will prepare most anyone for the BAJA RALLY.
Email Jimmy to inquire about a rally-nav training session if you are serious about learning it the right way.

BAJA-MEX INSURANCE
Since January 1, 2012, auto insurance is required by law in Mexico. If you are involved in an auto accident in Mexico and do not have proof of minimum liability coverage, you will be arrested on the spot, whether or not there is any property damage or injury. Auto insurance policies are NOT created equal. When a policy is issued, they all look the same, but when its time to make a claim, the differences show up fast. BAJA-MEX guarantees to pay US labor rates and to use all factory parts. We know of several other companies that only pay Mexican labor rates and using cheap Chinese parts. At BAJA RALLY, we ride with the owner and his team of off road BAJA racers. We trust BAJA-MEX on the trail and endorse this company as the best choice for our BAJA RALLY participants.
