Africa Eco Race 2025

Jacopo Cerutti Wins Again!

In a thrilling finish, Jacopo Cerutti claimed his second consecutive victory at the Africa Eco Race 2025, beating his fellow Italian Alessandro Botturi by just 26 seconds! What makes this victory even more remarkable is that it’s the second time Jacopo Cerutti has won while riding with the RK 520EXW chain and his team mate Marco Menichini is also in top 10 with RK chain at 6th overall.

This chain, featuring the XW-Ring technology, is designed to meet the extreme demands of rally racing. It seals the lubrication and keeps debris out, a vital feature against desert sand. Additionally, its heat and shock resistance, thanks to a special heat treatment, makes it ideal for the tough conditions of the Dakar Rally & Africa Eco Race.

Jacopo Cerutti has once again shown that the combination of his exceptional skill and top-quality equipment, like the RK 520EXW chain, is a winning formula. Congratulations to him for this incredible performance!
