China bike for Dakar Rally

With Yamaha pulling out of the 2023 Dakar Rally, we may see that slot filled by the Excelle ZF450LS, from China.
I am not familiar with that brand, so I don't know if it can be competitive in the Arabian sand.
It is based on the Colove 450 Rally, with a Loncin engine.

Just finishing the entire Dakar Rally is considered a victory for many teams.
