Segway Powersports is preparing to make its SCORE Baja 1000 debut with two race-prepared Super Villain UTVs. The 59th edition of the off-road endurance race begins November 13 in San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico, and serves as the final round of the 2026 SCORE World Desert Championship.
A Course Entirely Within Baja California Sur
For the first time in the event's history, the course will run entirely within Baja California Sur. The nearly 1,000-mile route will take competitors across desert, mountain, and coastal terrain before returning to San José del Cabo.
Jacob Zuccone and Justin He are among the drivers representing Segway Powersports in its historic debut.
Building on a Season of Racing
The Baja 1000 builds on a season of racing and development for the Super Villain. Segway Factory Racing has taken the platform through King of the Hammers, the Mint 400, the Silver State 300 and Vegas to Reno. According to Segway Powersports, each event provided opportunities to evaluate the platform across different racing environments, gather performance data, and identify opportunities for continued development.
Testing Technology Over Distance
Segway Powersports says it advances its off-road vehicle technology through in-house engineering, extensive testing, and real-world competition. Endurance racing, the company states, provides a demanding environment for evaluating how vehicle systems perform together over extended distances and constantly changing terrain.
At Baja, the two Super Villain UTVs will face the program's longest race of the season, which Segway Powersports describes as establishing a new benchmark for evaluating the platform's durability, reliability, and performance.

The company describes itself as integrating its supply chain with its own manufacturing capabilities and managing the full lifecycle of its products, from research and development through production, sales and after-sales service.
