In a remarkable display of endurance and skill, Iván Cervantes, the renowned 5-time Enduro World Champion and Triumph Global Ambassador, has officially secured the prestigious GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for ‘The greatest distance on a motorcycle in 24 hours (individual)’.
Riding a Tiger 1200 GT Explorer, Cervantes shattered the previous record by an astonishing margin, covering a distance of over 2493 miles (4012 kilometers) within the designated time frame.
The awe-inspiring feat took place on the High-Speed Ring at the Nardò Technical Center in Italy, where Cervantes showcased his exceptional riding prowess and unyielding determination. On April 30, 2023, under the watchful eye of a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator, Cervantes embarked on his mission to surpass the existing record of 2116.39 miles (3406 kilometers).
Pushing his limits and conquering the vast expanse of asphalt, Cervantes masterfully maneuvered his Tiger 1200 GT Explorer for an entire day, surpassing all expectations. Clocking in at a final confirmed distance of 2493.28 miles (4012.53 kilometers), he shattered the previous record by an impressive margin of more than 372.82 miles (600 kilometers).
To put this achievement into perspective, it is equivalent to traveling from London to the Great Pyramid of Giza or from New York City to Los Angeles as the crow flies, all within a mere 24 hours.
The GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator meticulously monitored the attempt, ensuring adherence to the strict guidelines set forth by the organization. Cervantes’s accomplishment was met with resounding applause from onlookers and enthusiasts who witnessed the historic moment firsthand.
