On January 20, 2025, the Indian Army’s Motorcycle Rider Display Team, the “Daredevils,” achieved a world record at Kartavya Path in New Delhi. They created the highest human pyramid on moving motorcycles. The pyramid, which stood at an impressive height of 20.4 feet, involved 40 men on 7 motorcycles. The team covered a distance of 2 kilometers, traveling from Vijay Chowk to India Gate.
Celebrating a Historic Accomplishment
The Daredevils, part of the Corps of Signals, have earned international fame for their exceptional performances. This latest feat adds to their collection of 33 world records. They hold entries in the Guinness World Records, the Asia Book of Records, and the Limca Book of Records.
After the successful attempt, the Daredevils received cheers from the Signals Fraternity, including Lieutenant General KV Kumar, Head of the Corps of Signals. Their performance boosted the team’s morale and marked the celebration of their achievement.
A Legacy of Excellence
Since its inception in 1935, the Daredevils have completed over 1,600 motorcycle displays across India. They have thrilled audiences at prestigious events such as Republic Day Parades, Army Day Parades, and Military Tattoos. Their dedication and skill continue to inspire and highlight the prowess of the Indian Army.
