Three days. One island. Same reason we keep coming back.

Salt on the skin. Dirt on the boots. Engines running somewhere in the distance. Deus Slidetober Fest was back in Bali, with three days celebrating everything we love: bikes, surf, art and music. From a sand endurance Swank Rally on Pangkung Tibah Beach and a solo art show from Andre Yoga at the Temple of Enthusiasm, to a closing night at Deus Pits with awards and surf rock from The Panturas. The kind of event that makes us wonder why we’d ever do anything but ride, surf and hang with our mates.

Thanks to everyone who took part, the crew who made every day possible and the crowd who came to watch the madness unfold. 

 

An island made for two wheels. 

Gravel roads, coastal switchbacks and golden Mediterranean light. The Swank Rally took over Sardinia, bringing the legendary Rally di Sardegna back to life with classic machines, island trails and a timing sheet nobody takes too seriously. Friend of Deus Marco Aurelio Fontana was right in the thick of it, proving there’s no better way to see Sardinia than flat out and covered in dust.

 

Some builds are about pushing boundaries, and some are about celebrating bonds. This 2024 BMW GS13 Trophy is a bit of both....
