Video: Defender Dakar | Battle Scars​

Dakar is a race of toughness and endurance, and that was no exception in 2026 when Defender took on some battle scars.

From Defender:

“Defender was engineered to withstand the world’s toughest conditions.​ ​

Over 24,000km collectively across the Saudi Arabian desert, three Defender Dakar D7X-Rs battled rocks, sand, and relentless terrain at the Dakar Rally. These are the scars to prove it.​ ​

Ready to go again at Rally-Raid Portugal.​”
