Jewbacca Posted August 17, 2023 Share Are you allowed to ride curly bars at the event? I know some MTB races have it written in the rules that only MTB/straight bars are allowed. Just something to consider. In my youth, I always advocated under biking as being RAD! My rigid SS did all the major stage races, RASA, big and small 1 day races and even raced some Enduro's. In my 40s I would advocate comfort and less suffering (says the guy who rides a BMX everywhere). It definitely Can be done, but whether the race allows it is your first hurdle. After that it's just a case of how much cement tea you drink or how much you enjoy being an idiot. Me? I'm just an idiot Charity85, mazambaan, Scary Rider and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently ride a gravel bike (Momsen R355) anyone else complete this race on a gravel bike, and what is your experience of it? For sure.

Martin PJ Posted August 17, 2023 Share Sani is not that hard, more serious injuries happen because you going pretty fast when you wipe out because of a small tree stump, or sandy patch on a corner. If you normally ride certain bike (i.e. gravel bike or HT) at a bike park or MTB races, you'll be fine.

Headshot Posted August 17, 2023 Share They will have to rename the Sani the Gravel to C after this thread... From what I recall of the route its nothing like the Cape which actually has rocks and things and where suspension works overtime. I reckon you should go for it. Charity85 and mazambaan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betaboy Posted August 19, 2023 Share I thought all MTB events are catering for just them? So how many event’s actually allow gravel bikes to participate?….🤔 Charity85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
