ReiseMoto partners with CS Santosh for off-road product development and global racing; he will test tyres in international events from 2026, aiding Indian motorsports.
ReiseMoto has entered into a partnership with CS Santosh, an Indian off-road motorcyclist known for being the first from the country to finish the Dakar Rally. The collaboration focuses on developing off-road products and promoting Indian participation in international motorsports.
CS Santosh's involvement is expected to align with ReiseMoto's emphasis on creating items suited for competitive settings. Yogesh Mahansaria, Founder & Managing Director, ReiseMoto, stated that Santosh's approach reflects the brand's values, and the tie-up aims to support more riding experiences.
CS Santosh commented that the brand shares his interest in performance, with the goal of encouraging wider engagement in motorcycling.
Under the arrangement, Santosh will collaborate with ReiseMoto's R&D team to provide input on off-road tyres, including testing the torqR 02 - Dakar variant. He plans to use Reise tyres in events such as multiple rounds of the World Rally Raid Championship, starting with Rallye du Maroc, and over two rounds of the FIM Bajas World Cup from January 2026, pending team approvals and tests. Data from these activities will contribute to product improvements.
The partnership coincides with a period of recovery for Santosh, where ReiseMoto will support his return to global competitions. He will also introduce the brand's products to European and international markets.
ReiseMoto, a joint venture between Mahansaria Group and European tyre maker Mitas, produces tyres and gear at a 30-acre plant in Saykha, Gujarat. The brand distributes premium European labels like Acerbis, Tucano Urbano, Ixon, and Spidi in India.
ReiseMoto engages the community through events and has Rannvijay Singha as ambassador. It supports riders like Harith Noah and CS Santosh, and participates in the Indian Supercross Racing League as Reise torqRacers.
