After blowing up the Internet after soldiering on despite the broken bike blues, Mason Klein “rallied” to finish Top American in the Dakar dunes on Stage 5. The time lost to a busted oil line and the added penalty hour for conducting an engine swap, Klein continues to captivate on his Kove powering his way to a 5th place aboard his Kove 450 EX Rally Bike on Stage 5.
