When it came time for the Polaris factory race team to pick a tire for Rally dos Sertões, Atturo Trail Blade X/T tires made the cut. Running for 8 days over 3,800 kilometers, Rally dos Sertões is a true test of man and machine… and especially tires! Polaris Factory Racing Brazil will field 6 Polaris Pro R UTVs in the rally, all equipped with Atturo’s new Trail Blade X/T SXS Tires. The team will utilize 30x10.00R15 and 32x10.00R15 sizes, depending on the stage of the rally.
“Atturo Tires surprised us in the tests and during the Jalapão Rally, in which we had an incredible performance,” says Jean Azevedo from Polaris Factory Racing. “The products are very resistant, with qualities that are essential to overcome all the demands of the Sertões Rally. We are very happy to have this partnership.”
“We are very confident with this partnership with the Torres e Azevedo Rally Team, the official Polaris team for the Sertões Rally, which is very strong.” adds Atturo’s Sales Director for Latin America, Rene Crovador Jr.p. “The Steel Belted Construction, Race Inspired Designs, and Aggressive Sidewall of the Trail Blade X/T SXS give us confidence that these tires will perform excellently and withstand anything these racers throw at them.”
Now in its 30th year, Rally dos Sertões traverses some of Brazil's most scenic but unforgiving terrain as competitors travel from city to city across the country. This year's rally is expected to draw nearly 200 racers across all classes and a caravan of 2,000+ people to support the teams. Since 2008 it is also one of the official stages of the International Automobile Federation's World Cross-Country Championship.
