21 YEARS AND COUNTING

Welcome to the Trans Baviaans — the toughest, most rewarding mountain bike race in the country. When we launched this journey, the goal was simple: to create an adventure that tested endurance, celebrated the raw beauty of the Baviaanskloof, and united riders through shared challenge and camaraderie.

Over the years, the Trans Baviaans has grown into something far greater than a race — it’s a community, a story, and a memory-maker. Whether you’re riding for your tenth medal or lining up for the first time, you’re now part of that legacy.

Thank you for riding with us. See you in the kloof.

Get ready for a memorable experience!
