Paris – September 09, 2026 -- French enduro champion Mathias Bellino is opening a new chapter in his off-road career with support from Segway Powersports, which has provided him with a Super Villain SX20T side-by-side vehicle.

Bellino built a decorated career before a 2018 crash ended professional racing

Bellino won the Enduro Junior World Championship in 2012 and the Enduro E3 World Championship in 2015. He was also part of French teams that won the ISDE Junior World Trophy three consecutive years, from 2011 to 2013. Raised in a family passionate about motorcycles, he started riding at age four before moving through motocross into elite enduro competition.

In August 2018, during his first cross-country rally, the Desafío Ruta 40 in Argentina, Bellino crashed and suffered severe spinal injuries while working toward his goal of competing in the Rallye Dakar. The accident ended his career as a professional racer.
