Editing Dakar Rally (section)

===Quads===
Prior to 2009, Quads were a subdivision of the motorbike category, but they were granted their own separate classification in 2009 and are designated Group 3 in the current regulations. They are divided into two subgroups – Group 3.1, which features two-wheel drive quads with a single cylinder engine with a maximum displacement of 750cc, and Group 3.2, which permits four-wheel drive quads with a maximum engine displacement of 900cc, in either single or twin cylinder layout.<ref name="Bike-quad"/>

Yamaha went unbeaten in the Quad category as an official class, with their main opposition coming courtesy of Honda and [[Can-Am Off-Road|Can-Am]].

Quads were dropped from the Dakar in 2025 due to declining manufacturer support.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.advpulse.com/adv-news/dakar-pulls-the-plug-on-the-quad-class-for-2025/|title=Dakar Pulls The Plug On The Quad Class For 2025|website=ADV Pulse|date=4 April 2024|access-date=4 September 2024}}</ref>
