Indian Team Set Largest Human Motorcycle Pyramid Record
A motorcycle display team from India has succeeded in balancing 40 men on seven motorcycles to take the record
The Indian Army’s Motorcycle Rider Display Team, AKA “The Daredevils”, have entered the record books this week, after supposedly breaking the record for the ‘Largest Human Motorcycle Pyramid’ Record.
The Daredevils, part of the Corps of Signals, are reported to have set the record on January 19, 2025, riding a claimed 1.2 miles while remaining in the towering formation. Seven bikes, quite possibly Royal Enfield Bullets, formed the base of the pyramid, with forty men perching on top. At its highest, the pyramid is claimed to have reached 20.4 feet tall, and travelled along Kartavya Path, from Vijay Chowk to India Gate in New Delhi.
The Indian outlet, DD News (DDN), reports that the feat will be replicated on the Republic Day parade taking place on 26 January. The annual event commemorates the adoption of the Indian Constitution on 26 January, 1950, which made India a sovereign republic.
DDN goes on to report that The Daredevils are the holders of some 33 world records, including some in the Guinness Book of Records, the Asia Book of Records, and the Limca Book of Records. It also states that they have performed in over 1,600 motorcycle displays across India since the formation of the group in 1935.
The record hasn’t been added to the Guinness Book of Records as yet, and it’s not clear if it is going to be ratified. It does, however, attribute another Largest Human Motorcycle Pyramid record to the team, although this one is from 2001 and features 201 people on ten bikes who apparently travelled just 129 metres.
