K.C.

  • Kyle Chaney is one of America’s most accomplished UTV racers of all time, but he began his off-road career on a dirt bike at the age of 11. He transitioned to four wheels at 25, starting SxS racing in 2011. His speed, technique, and race management caught the attention of the Can-Am factory team. He competed on a variety of models across tracks throughout the United States.
  • The Ohio native has claimed victories and championships across multiple series, including cross-country events, the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC), and short-course competitions. He wrote part of his legend at the famous King of the Hammers, where he is a four-time winner of the UTV Hammers Championship. In 2025, Chaney made history by becoming the first driver ever to win the 4400 Unlimited Class overall in a modified UTV, a Can-Am Maverick R. An extraordinary feat given that the class had traditionally been dominated by custom-built trucks and buggies with significantly higher horsepower.
  • A new opportunity arose when Can-Am Dakar driver Sara Price moved to the Defender program. The brand offered Kyle her seat, which he accepted. Despite having no prior experience in W2RC-style rally-raid events, he earned an outstanding 5th place in his Rallye du Maroc debut. His compatriot Brock Heger won the SSV race in his Dakar debut in 2025. Could Kyle Chaney follow in his footsteps?
