Bike Hub Features Posted May 26, 2021 Share If you haven’t already been, the Cederberg is an incredible mountain oasis with a ton of activities from gravel and mountain biking to wine tasting, hiking, and there is even a Brewery that uses the fresh mountain water in the area to brew their beer.

Hilton. Posted May 26, 2021 Share Beautiful area and pics. The bakkie advertorial is a bit strong for the BikeHub tho The Cederberg is still on my to-cycle list, but I've stayed and hiked there in the past. I'd like more close ups of the bike, pleez Edited May 26, 2021 by Hilton. porqui and The Ouzo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fine balance I know, but when the argument is that this is a cycling website and thus chit chat topics are not important one can use the same argument for the car reviews. I get that it pays the bills, just try and keep it subtle please. porqui, Eddy Gordo and Matt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuys Posted May 26, 2021 Share Im pretty sure they dont have the V6 petrol engine anymore for quite a few years. Also the current range is not that "new" and is due to be replaced with the new generation. Australia (and other countries) already has the new generation, which will only land here later this year or 2022 as they are in process of changing the local factory to built the new generation. tjopper88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted May 27, 2021 Share I am fortunate enough to drive one of these fine bakkies in 4x4 guise and I can confirm that its a powerful brute of a bakkie with go-anywhere tendencies both on- and off-road. It swallows a 29'er full suspension comfortably in the back with only needing to remove the front wheel to close the canopy. Fuel usage averages out at about 10km / liter and 9.9 l/km over the last 3000 odd km's. I manage easy weekends away with my wife and kid including all their paraphernalia as well as my bike and kit without needing a bike rack and no extra packing in the cab required. All in all my Isuzu is a very comfortable and practical vehicle and I would not be exchanging it for a SUV or car again. When I got mine it was a demo that was detuned by the dealer to protect the engine and upon receipt of the vehicle they remapped the chip from Isuzu Japan with the new D-Max setup. The normal bakkie delivers 100kw with about ~85kw on the rear wheels after drivetrain power loss. Mine delivers 102kw on the rear wheels.

I fit my whole bike diagonally in the back without removing the wheel. Try turning the wheel to face backwards and see if it fits.

Try turning the wheel to face backwards and see if it fits. I was watching a guy push his fully assembled bike into his Hilux last weekend. I was very tickled by that but I do not seem to be able to. Either my cab is shorter than his, or he rides 650b, or I'm just piss poor at geometry...(most likely the latter). I'll give it another go. I'm very intrigued now. nevermind...you learn something new everyday...like how dof you can really be. Thanks for enlightening me. Super stoked now.
