afaik Posted January 10, 2022 Share Hello I am planning to ride the 40km Trailseeker Banhoek MTB race later this month. I wanted to know if it would be better to ride a gt zaskar hardtail or stumpjumper dual sus? Dankie Edited January 10, 2022 by afaik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trashy Posted January 10, 2022 Share Definitely the Stumpy. I don't know what the route is, but you can expect lots of climbing, and some exceptional descents. Did 27km there on Sat and was just short of 900m elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan Posted January 10, 2022 Share I thought Banhoek is only later in the series? I cant find the new race dates on their website. Can anyone share? Found it: https://trailseeker.co.za/mtb/events/ Edited January 10, 2022 by Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did 27km there on Sat and was just short of 900m elevation. There are some very rcky sections on both the long and medium routes. A hardtail would the weapon of choice for lighter rider or those we can complete the long route course in 3hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephan Posted January 10, 2022 Share On the website the half marathon profile infographic says the distance is 30km. I'm guessing this is a mistake and that it should be 40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
