Delicious food in a local traditional restaurant, in the Rally Bivouac, will be available to order in advance for all participants (riders, mechanics, and all others).

Note for 2026: Because of better organization, there will be no à la carte orders! If you want to get your meal in Šuki’s restaurant, make sure to order it through the form available before the rally starts.

Options: Check online booking services for Knin or camp in the Bivouac for free.

Shuttle Service: A shuttle van/car will operate regularly, several times every day, from Knin to Bivouac and back. This is a very convenient way to get to/from the bivouac if you stay in the city center. The same company will also be available on demand at very affordable prices.

It’s best to arrive the day before Verification and Technical check. If this is not possible for you, the latest time to enter the bivouac is Saturday till 12:00.

When you arrive, you’ll be guided to a suitable location and the space is systematically filled as participants arrive.

You’ll have access to electricity, but it’s best to bring your own power cable extension(s). Fresh water, showers, and toilets are available 10m from the main tent.

Malle Moto riders have a dedicated, separate section of the bivouac.

The last day ends with the last stage around 15:00. The ceremony starts around 17:00–18:00 in the evening.

Riding Time: The fastest riders usually need more than 30 hours total, with the longest days being around 8–12 hours racing and around 5–7 hours for the shortest days. Prologue usually takes less than 3 hours for most riders. For beginners, you can expect even 12 hours on the bike on some of the days. Nobody said it’s going to be easy, right 🙂 ?

Fuel Range: Minimum 150 km range required (150 km max with a few wrong turns; 120–130 km is enough for most days if you follow the track strictly).

The Dinaric Rally includes one Marathon Stage consisting of two consecutive daily stages completed without external assistance. For details on the restrictions and procedures, have a look at the regulations for this year.

Technology: A bespoke tracking device is included in the entry fee alongside our carefully developed safety device from raceadmin.eu. The tracking device allows us to follow your movement based on GPS updates, while the safety device notifies you with a buzzer of speeding, upcoming danger zones, and checkpoint validations. Your best safety tool remains your roadbook and eyes on the road ahead.

Safety Teams: Our unique rescue team—made up of local mountain rescue experts (HGSS) together with international rescuers and doctors with modern medical equipment and dedicated off-road vehicles—looks after you along every metre.

Worth Mentioning: You will never see our crew angry, unfriendly, or without a wide smile. We do this out of genuine passion. Our rescuers’ greatest reward is a well-treated “client” who becomes a friend.

• Included: Tracking device fee (€200 value) & Bivouac camping fees (€0).

• Extra costs: Local accommodation (€30–35/night), planned food package (~€200), highway tolls (~€10 / 150 km), fuel, oil, and tires.

Multiple photo access packages are available, ranging from 3 daily pro-rider photos to full media packages delivered ~1 month after the event. One start and finish photo per rider are posted free on Facebook.

The one you have! You can complete the Dinaric Rally on almost any off-road motorcycle, and we recommend using the one you are most comfortable with.

A converted Enduro bike will be easier to handle but far less comfortable all day. A bigger bike will have a harder time in harder sections, but this is a long-distance cross-country race in rocky terrain, not hard enduro. Bikes over 1000cc need a very experienced rider.

Your bike should be in perfect working condition, have a rear-view mirror, a working horn, a legal registration plate, matching documentation and insurance, a working tracking device, your three racing numbers, and meet the 98dB Sound Control.

Tires: Oh no! The Tires question again! 🙂 You can complete the event on a single set of compromise adventure/rally tires (Michelin Desert, Dunlop D908, Pirelli MT21, Mitas E12/E13/E09/Trail XT/Rally), but you’ll need to be careful. Two front and three rear Enduro Medium or Hard tires is the minimum for racing pace. Fat 90/100 front tires help prevent punctures and rim damage. Make sure to have a backup plan—support agencies have limited extra stock.

Mousses: Recommended due to rough, rocky terrain. If running tubes, do not drop pressure too low. You must carry your own spares, tools, and skills. Having a flat tube is not a reason to call the organizer for extraction!

Many riders work on their bikes on their own, but support agencies (Torque Racing, Wiedemann Motorsports, Adventure Ride DK, Nomadas Adventures) or shared mechanics are available.

Due to vibrations, Loctite important screws and mark their position. Inspect your bike daily, tighten loose parts, clean forks, and service air filters. Enduro bikes usually require at least two oil changes during the event.

Digital: Rugged tablets running TerraPirata with Bluetooth controllers are fully suitable.

Paper: Classic paper roadbook holders offer unmatched direct sunlight readability and manual reliability, but require separate tripmasters.

Mandatory: Motocross/enduro boots, hard knee guards or braces, and full body armor (chest, back, shoulders, elbows).

Helmet & Gear: Certified light MX/Enduro helmet with goggles is recommended to reduce fatigue. Light enduro gloves and palm protectors help against a week of riding. All gear presented at technical check must have valid international certificates.

Malle Moto riders have a dedicated, separate area in the bivouac. You should do all the work on your motorcycle on your own, with tools and parts from one 80L box. You are allowed two front and two rear tires, two sets of wheels, and you’ll sleep in your tent all week long. You can put up a service tent to keep your bike, gear, and tools in.

Competitors are expected to work together as well as make sure everyone in the area follows the same rules.
