Anyone have any info on these trails. I know what I've found online, but all trails look like blue or green. Aparently some new trails since Dec 2022. So... Any good red/enduro style trails. I'm heading there tomo as in the area, but if not worth it I'll head to the concordia/simola trails in Knysna. Hitting witfontein on Thursday which I know are great. Thanks for any info

Thanks all, I have forwarded all the info to him so he has a better idea of what he's in for.

Hey MTBRIDER, thanks for that. Yeah I'm thinking hardtail would be best suited. I think he lives at De Hoop Nature reserve, so prob jeep tracks. Probably his first bikes in many years. I don't think he would have the bike knoweledge to spec up a bike, so ideally looking for a specific bike capable of carrying a 150kg person.

A family member wants to start riding, I'm guessing mostly xc type. I've been riding for years, but know nothing in this bike category... So anyone out there know of a specific hard tail or full suss around the 20k mark? XL or XXL i think he's 2m and 150kg (from gyming, not from doughnuts) Any help much appreciated.

Great initiative! I've got some parts for you. Will give you a shout today.

You can gun it! Some sneaky little natural 'jumps' on the trail edges for some fun mini-whips.

+1 ...and call me Phillip.

any idea what the elevation is for the 54km?

Also doing the 54km.... first time though. Never ridden in Joburg before, so thought it would be good for a giggle.

I think you misunderstood...

Thought I'd add mine, slightly more gloomy weather though. Shot in Stanford.
