Other Information
Navigation.
This is a GPS navigation ride, you need to have a GPS or Phone with a Navigation app.
If using a phone, it should be mounted to your bars or dash.
Navigation on phones can be power hungry and the battery may only last a few hours at best, so have a charging method, preferably from your bikes 12v system.
If you are new to navigation rides and need some help deciding on what to use, please contact us
If you are just starting out and do not have a navigation device yet, you must Buddy Up with another rider for the duration of the ride.
Food: Breakfast, Lunch and dinner locations will be listed on your itinerary and GPS file.
Always carry some trail snacks and 3lts of water, preferably in a hydration pack.
Buddy up: Although there are support riders, we suggest riding with someone else, if you're coming alone, it won't take long to meet new mates to ride with.
Personal Safety: Importantly, carry a Personal Location Device like a Garmin inReach, Zoleo or SPOT Tracker and a 1st aid kit.
Boots: We always recommend Motocross or Enduro Boots.
Tools: You shouldn't need a 20kg tool kit, carry enough tools to perform the basics like lever, mirror and handlebar adjustments, check and adjust your chain, remove wheels and fix a puncture (tubed or tubeless) and generally get yourself out of trouble on the trail. Our support riders and 4WD are also well equipped.
Even if you're not the most mechanically minded person out there, there's always a crew member or someone else willing to help, having the right tools for your own bike can make it more efficient.
Tyres: For the mid to large Adv Bikes, we suggest a minimum 50/50 tyre like the Anakee Wild, Metzeler Karoo4, Bridgestone AX41, to more offroad focused tyres like the Mitas Enduro Trail XT+, Pirelli Scorpion Rally Race, GoldenTyre GT823 or Motoz RallZ.
Our preferred tyre is the Mitas Enduro Trail XT+ (Dakar)
Contact us or consult your tyre shop if you're unsure.
