It is referred to as “Yalla Habibi,” and it is accessible for preorder proper now earlier than its launch later this month.
The pair rode over 13,000 miles in beneath 19 days, however Kluftinger and Bondlow weren’t the one two on the bikes. In addition they carried documentary filmmaker Edwin El Bainou on the again of one of many Multistradas with the intention to seize the feat in actual time — and it was really actual time, with out allowances for sleep or relaxation. The trio coated Vancouver to Miami, Lisbon, Istanbul, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangkok, Singapore, Perth, Sydney, Anchorage, and again all in that 19-day restrict.
We have been ready for this for some time
Kluftinger had teased the mission earlier, in a evaluation video concerning the Multistrada V4 Rally, and confirmed a fast little style of the documentary’s footage. This trailer lastly provides us a fuller look, exhibiting the route and a few clips from the highway. In line with Kluftinger’s omnipresent whiteboard, the crew crossed the U.S. in lower than three days, the EU in even much less time, and bought nearly all of their sleep on planes between using stints. Instantly, an iron butt would not appear so powerful.

FortNine additionally put collectively a cinematic premiere in Vancouver on December twenty second, so get your tickets for that right here for those who’re within the space — and, for those who do, please do not spoil something for me earlier than the twenty seventh.
