Words and Images by: Stirling Koetze Snr. When I first got wind of the news that the 11th edition of the iconic three-day W2W was introducing an e-bike category in the Pinotage event (Monday to Wednesday ride) my eyes lit up, my ears buzzed and my heart palpitated! I had […]
Words and Images by: Marc van Veen 60 Km – If you like “Snakes and Ladders” this is your route! To open up the lungs and warm those legs up, we carved our way up through vineyards and the natural bush to rise 500 m using gravel roads and singletrack […]
Words & Images by Shayne Dowling Sold as an out the box trail ready, all-rounder, full carbon bike. Does it live up to expectations? We hit the trails and put it to the test. Canyon has been pretty visible on the global MTB scene – particularly with Mathieu Van der […]
