Jordan Baja 2026.

Jordan Baja sits in the south of the country, where the towns thin out and the maps go quiet. Aqaba on the coast for paddock and scrutineering. Wadi Rum further inland for the long, fast stages. A valley made of red sand and bigger sandstone walls than feel real when you actually stand inside one.

The vehicle was a Vendetta Racing UTV. Purple, loud, built for this kind of ground. The numbers on the doors were M11 and M22 across the days. The gear is the same gear you wear on the bike, only now you are strapped in with someone else and the dust comes through every seam regardless. You spend half the day reading the next 200 metres and the other half holding the wheel honest while the back end goes everywhere.

The hands. Less skinned knuckles than a build. More grip fatigue. Days of bracing through whoops and then unstrapping the harness with arms that have forgotten how to do small movements. Forearms locked up before lunch on day two. That is the cost of throttle. Throttle takes a different toll than wrench, but it still counts.

This is what user-posted SORE HANDS race content will look like in the platform feed. Real days. Real dust. Real cost.
