Yesterday, 18 March 2012, at 2:30 pm the Husaberg Adventure Team (Walter J Colebatch - UK, Barton Churchill - USA, Lukas Matzinger - Austria) set a new world record for altitude reached by motorcycle of 6,361 m / 20,869 ft, with a Husaberg FE 570 motorcycle on the snow covered volcano Ojos Del Salado, in Chile. This improves the previous best of 6,245 m / 20,489 set in 2008 by an Indian team in the Himalayas by 116 meters / 400 ft. Verification by Guinness World Records is pending. The team thanks our families, friends, our first class equipment and logistics sponsors, and the incredible community support that made this achievement possible.
