Maxi Schek — Carrying the Torch at the Dakar Rally
At just 25 years old, Maxi Schek represents a new generation of uncompromising rally riders at the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia. Competing in the Malle Moto / Original by Motul category—widely regarded as the “real deal” of Dakar—Maxi races without external assistance. He rides, navigates, maintains, and repairs his motorcycle entirely on his own, day after day, across some of the most demanding terrain in motorsport.
Malle Moto - the real deal!
Maxi’s approach is defined by courage, discipline, and technical self-reliance. In a class where exhaustion, mechanical failure, and isolation are constant risks, success depends not only on speed, but on judgment, mechanical skill, and resilience. This is rallying in its purest form.
The Family Business is still about Motorcycles and passion.
Rally Raid racing runs deep in the Schek family. Maxi carries forward a remarkable legacy shaped by pioneers such as his grandfather Herbert Schek and his aunt Patricia Watson-Miller—names that helped define endurance off-road competition. With Maxi, that heritage continues, translated into a modern Dakar campaign driven by independence and determination.
Throughout his Dakar journey, Maxi is closely connected with SWT Sports. Team principal Manuel Schad is not only a trusted professional partner, but also a close personal friend—an important anchor in the high-pressure environment of the world’s toughest rally.
The Sponsorship:
The sponsorship by 3D Systec grew naturally from shared passion rather than marketing intent. Wolfgang Bregenzer of 3D-Systec, motorcycle enthusiast, collector, and dedicated off-road rider himself, immediately recognized the spirit that defines Maxi Schek: technical excellence, self-responsibility, and the willingness to push limits where it truly counts.
Over the coming weeks, we will follow Maxi Schek’s Dakar Rally closely—stage by stage, challenge by challenge. For 3D Systec, this partnership stands for precision under extreme conditions, trust in engineering, and respect for those who take responsibility into their own hands.
