Hot shots : 5-time Reno Rally Winner
- One of the most talented bikers in the Rally GP field, Skyler Howes is gearing up for his sixth Dakar and his second as part of the Monster Energy Honda Team.
- Born in California and raised in Utah, the 32-year-old learned to ride on a 1974 Honda XR75 that his father recovered from an auto salvage yard.
- He turned pro in 2012 and began to impress on the national offroad scene. Encouraged by American stars Chris Blais (a former Dakar podium finisher) and Kurt Caselli, he took up rally-raid in 2018.
- Skyler had a rags-to-riches journey from privateer to professional. He crashed out on Dakar debut in 2019 but roared back to come 9th in 2020 as a privateer for Klymciw Racing. He then went all in at Dakar 2021 to earn a factory contract (selling prized possessions including his bike from 2019) and did just that, coming 5th and penning a deal with Husqvarna Factory Racing.
- Skyler's best Dakar performance (3rd) came with Husqvarna in 2023. After a stellar build-up which included wins at Vegas to Reno, the Rallye du Maroc and the Sonora Rally, the American led the Dakar for six days and finished 5'04" behind Kevin Benavides, who won by just 43 seconds from Toby Price!
- Skyler has had a mixed start to life with the team. He crashed out of his first event in Morocco, then had to retire from Dakar 2024 due to a mechanical issue during the 48H Chrono.
- In August 2024, while competing with teammate Ricky Brabec at Vegas to Reno, Skyler had a high-speed crash and suffered a compound ankle fracture - although he points out that it could have been much worse. Consequence of this big crash, he finished 8th in W2RC.
- In his hometown of St. George, November 4 is 'Skyler Howes Day' in honour of his achievements.
