In October, Helan Mountain once again hosted a fierce contest of speed, endurance and vehicle control. The 2025 Helan Mountain Auto & Motorcycle Off-Road Rally concluded successfully, with Rydanz Rally Team driver Yang Endong delivering a consistent and high-performance drive to secure 2nd Overall, marking a significant achievement for both driver and team.

The Helan Mountain stages present a demanding mix of conditions — rocky slopes, loose gravel plains, sand and dry riverbeds — each testing a vehicle’s ability to resist impacts, sustain traction and endure extended abrasion. 

Throughout the event, Yang’s car was fitted with Rydanz GRAVEL 1, an off-road competition tyre engineered to meet the rigours of rallying.

The GRAVEL 1 is purpose-built for challenging terrains, combining advanced design features:

• Reinforced Sidewall: High-strength composite materials enhance rigidity, resisting cuts, bulging, and impacts from rocks, deep ruts, and uneven surfaces.
• Large High-Relief Tread Blocks: Deeply engage loose sand, gravel, and mud, delivering exceptional traction for confident progress.
• Deep and Wide Interlocking Grooves: Efficiently channel water and mud away, maintaining firm road contact and wet traction.
• Self-Cleaning Tread Pattern: Special block shapes and arrangement eject debris during rolling, preserving continuous grip.
• High-Rigidity Block Layout: Minimizes deformation under intense off-road loads, enhancing durability and tyre life.

Over prolonged, high-stress stages, the GRAVEL 1 demonstrated lasting wear resistance and handling stability, enabling Yang to manage pace and line with confidence. The podium finish validates not only the driver’s skill and racecraft but also the engineering and practical effectiveness of Rydanz’s rally tyre programme.

As a flagship product for Rydanz’s off-road range, GRAVEL 1 draws on the company’s years of motorsport R&D and track testing. It is designed to provide race-grade performance where it matters most — durability, protection and consistent grip — so teams and drivers can focus on competition rather than equipment concerns.

This result strengthens Rydanz Tyres’ commitment to performance and reliability. Moving forward, Rydanz will continue to invest in motorsport development and testing under its motto “ONLY FOR YOUR DRIVES,” bringing competitive, dependable solutions to professional teams and off-road enthusiasts alike.
