If you’ve ever been deep in the woods, miles from camp, you know one thing’s for sure: running out of gas is not part of the adventure. That’s where the all-new DRK series steps up.
Compared to the older DRX models, the 2025+ DRK lineup comes with a 6-liter (1.6-gallon) gas tank, an upgrade from the DRX’s 5-liter (1.32-gallon) tank. It might not sound like a big difference at first, but when you’re in the middle of a race, that extra liter can mean the difference between finishing strong or rolling to a stop before the checkered flag.
More Fuel, More Laps
In woods racing, every second counts. Longer courses, tight corners, and rough terrain mean you’re constantly working the throttle, burning through more gas than a track setup. The DRK’s bigger tank lets riders stay out longer without refueling, giving them more laps and a better shot at the podium.
Designed for Real Ride Conditions
The DRK’s upgraded tank isn’t just larger—it’s smarter. Its shape fits into the redesigned frame for a more balanced center of gravity, which improves handling in tight trees and rutted sections. It also reduces fuel slosh, so power delivery stays consistent through turns, hills, and hard acceleration zones. That stability helps younger riders build confidence and speed without sacrificing control.
Built for Technical Racing
Woods courses can be unpredictable. You’re dealing with roots, mud, off-camber climbs, and constant elevation changes. Those conditions make fuel consumption harder to predict, which is why that extra liter of gas becomes a huge advantage. The DRK gives riders more margin for error—especially during long motos or extended events where pit stops are limited.
Less Time Refueling, More Time Riding
When you’re competing, every minute spent refueling is time lost on the clock. The DRK keeps riders moving longer, with fewer breaks and more focus on maintaining momentum. It’s the kind of upgrade that doesn’t just make sense on paper—it makes a real difference on the track.
The Next Generation of Performance
The DRK was built for how kids ride today: faster, smarter, and with a focus on endurance. Between the stronger frame, improved suspension, and that larger gas tank, the DRK is designed to handle the demands of competitive woods racing.
So when you’re lining up next to the competition, remember that extra liter in your tank isn’t just more fuel—it’s more confidence, more laps, and more chances to win.
