    If you followed our 2016 Bikes of the Epic series in March, you might have noticed that there was one glaring omission, the bike that won the race. It may be many months later but we've finally tracked down Karl Platt's 2016 Absa Cape Epic winning BULLS Wild Edge Team 29 bike. Click here to view the article

    Some say that being a mechanic at the Absa Cape Epic is almost as tough as riding the race itself. Louis-Bresler Knipe did both this year and, with his partner Francois Theron, still finished in 41st place overall. Click here to view the article

    German brand Centurion are a little known name in the South African context, but have been producing bikes since 1976. We chatted to one of their engineers about the new Numis XC, a bike specifically designed around the riding format of events like the Absa Cape Epic. Click here to view the article

    Canyon is a name many of us are well aware of, mostly of the fact that they're not yet available to our market. Having joined the Topeak Ergon squad in 2016, Erik Kleinhans' new steed is the XC and marathon focused Canyon Lux CF. Click here to view the article

    This year leading lady Ariane Kleinhans is riding on the female specific Specialized Era after riding the men's variant for some time. The key difference compared to the brother bike, the Epic, lies in the frame geometry and contact points. The Era features a lower standover height and shorter reach, said to provide a better fit for many ladies. Click here to view the article

    Like many single speeders, Max Menzies is a unique character. That's a kind way of saying that he is a slightly nuts. Think I'm being a little mean? Look no further than his choice of bike for his third Absa Cape Epic. Click here to view the article

    Three-time Absa Cape Epic winner Stefan Sahm has turned media crew member for 2016. But unlike the rest of us, he (sort of) gets to ride his mountain bike with the leading pack. Stefan is part of the collaboration between Bulls Bikes and 3sixtv bringing us footage from the trails of the Absa Cape Epic in 360 degrees. To help him zoom between the pros during the race, while carrying six GoPros above his head, Stefan is using a custom Bulls E-Stream EVO FS 3 29 e-bike. Click here to view the article

    The Specialized Epic is quite likely the defacto bike of choice at the Absa Cape Epic. We've seen countless examples of Specialized's cross-country racer this year, but this particular bike is quite special. Christoph Sauser's Epic S-Works is decked out in a custom Investec Songo Specialized paint strip. Something about the Investec zebra black, white and silver all fits quite nicely. And somewhat ironically, even in retirement Sauser still dons a zebra jersey, albeit of a different sort to that of his Epics past. Click here to view the article

    Fabian Rabensteiner's luminous orange Trek Top Fuel SL more than caught our eye at the Absa Cape Epic. He and his partner Ivan Alvarez Gutierrez sit 13th overall in their first Absa Cape Epic for Team Trek-Selle San Marco B. Click here to view the article

    Adriaan Louw is riding his trusted SwiftCarbon Evil Twin in the 2016 Absa Cape Epic. Team Contego SwiftCarbon took the opportunity to come up with a custom paint scheme. They allowed Adriaan to create his own design and enlisted the services of Bogus Designs to pull it off. Click here to view the article
