The 14 second teaser video gives very little information about the bike, other than the fact that it appears to be geared up for more off-road focussed use. Indeed, the name Desert Sled hints at a modern tribute to the bikes that used to be ridden on sandy terrain, particularly in Baja, in the 60s.

There have been no spy shots or press releases about the Desert Sled yet, and so we have to go purely by what we can see in the video, and that’s not much, other than the fact that it’s potentially being marketed at bus drivers, party goers, dancing gorillas, and guys tapping into their wild side and falling into pools. There is, however, an epic shot of the Desert Sled riding off into the sunset through some desert shrubbery that’ll get the adventure glands salivating.
