Since 2014, pushing boundaries and moving mountains have been synonymous with the Great Zuurberg Trek brand and the new E-edition will follow in the same gravel tracks.

It has been a story of testing physical limits and organisers leaving no rock unturned in their mission to capture the imagination of a discerning audience.

The next chapter – which embraces advances in technology – aims to make the original GZT relevant to a broader audience and a pacesetter in the ever-changing landscape of boutique mountain biking.

With its birth in 2022, the Great Zuurberg Trek E-edition is a leap into the future as it embraces one of the fastest growing sectors of the sport.

The collective mindset of events has always been to “accommodate” rather than “welcome” e-bikers, but the organisers of the GZT E-edition aim to turn chance into opportunity.

With e-bikers seeking a thrill-a-minute experience rather than spending long hours under the African sun, organisers can hand-pick the very best trails from the traditional GZT route for the E-edition.

The GZT-E stage race will be presented over three days, from June 3 to 5, 2022. Teams of two will line up for consecutive stages of approximately 63km, 55km and 50km respectively.

In order to allow riders of varying skill- and fitness levels to ride together, organisers have agreed to accommodate traditional mountain bikes, either as teams or paired with the e-bikes.

Stage 1 - 63km

Stage 2 - 55km

Stage 3 - 50km
