Destacados

Country Trax Training Day

Country Trax Training Day

The smartest possible start: a full off-road skills day — loose climbs, braking drills, tight turns. By the end of it the big GS Adventure feels a size smaller.

Karoo Gravel

Karoo Gravel

Hard, dry surfaces, stretches of loose dusty gravel, washboard and wind. Remote, quiet and vast — the stretch that teaches patience.

Swartberg Pass

Swartberg Pass

The crown jewel. Steep climbs, loose rock, tight switchbacks and sheer drop-offs with unreal views, then a flowing descent to Barrydale.

Cape Agulhas

Cape Agulhas

From dust to ocean at the southernmost point of Africa, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. Coastal wind, cooler air, salt on the visor.

Cape of Good Hope Finale

Cape of Good Hope Finale

The victory lap — fully tarred, twisty coastal roads with iconic views, finishing in Sea Point with a bike that looks like it has lived a story.

Alojamiento y comidas

Creemos que lo que ocurre fuera de la moto importa tanto como la propia ruta.

Programa diario

  1. 1

    Día 1 · Cape Town → Country Trax (Off-Road Training Day)

    The smartest possible start. A full off-road skills day at Country Trax — loose climbs, braking drills, tight turns. You learn to trust the front wheel on loose gravel, standing becomes second nature, and by the end of the day the big GS feels smaller. You leave no longer just riding gravel — you're working with it.

  2. 2

    Día 2 · Country Trax → Nieuwoudtville

    This is where the trip opens up. Mostly fast, hard-packed farm roads with long sight lines and the occasional loose marble in the corners. The GS Adventure hits its sweet spot — planted, stable, serene. Big sky, open plains, and that helmet-grin you didn't notice creeping in.

  3. 3

    Día 3 · Nieuwoudtville → Sutherland

    Welcome to the edge of the Karoo. Hard, dry surfaces with stretches of loose, dusty gravel, occasional washboard, and wind as a factor. The boxer torque shines — effortless cruising. Remote, quiet, vast. This stretch teaches patience.

  4. 4

    Día 4 · Sutherland → Prince Albert

    One of the most atmospheric days. A mix of compact gravel and rougher, rocky sections as you approach the mountains, with real temperature swings. Suspension earns its keep and standing becomes instinctive. Stark Karoo beauty and long, lonely roads — by now you and the bike are a team.

El itinerario es un plan, no una promesa. El tiempo, carreteras y puertos cerrados, las condiciones locales o políticas y la seguridad mandan — decide el guía sobre el terreno y siempre lo sabrás antes de arrancar la etapa.
