With DirtFit, the program has been designed by Ashish to help riders understand fitness better for off-road training.

Speaking on his first-ever DirtFit session, Ashish Raorane said, "By bringing these three offerings under OPR, we are able to close the gap that we have seen for motorcyclists who want to explore not just casual off-roading but also rallying in India as well as internationally. We want to bring together all my experience and use it to make the process simple and seamless for novices and serious off-roaders aiming to get into the riveting world of rallying."
