Established way back in 2004 already, the Dirtopia Trail Centre has undergone plenty of upgrades over the years, and […]

Trail Daze | Hoogekraal
Timing it perfectly between the year’s first proper grey and rainy winters days, the Trail Daze crew headed out towards Hoogekraal, just a few minutes drive outside Durbanville, to experience some tacky trails, green grass and a herd of curious cattle. Forming part of the greater Tygerberg MTB trail network, this loop probably won’t keep […]
Trail Daze | Encountering the Puff Adder
Our third and final outing in our search for the North West province’s finest trails took us to the lesser known Pofadder trail at Van Gaalen’s. With no markings or signage in sight, it’s a great idea to have a local show you around this rough and rocky part of town – and to experience […]
Trail Daze | Drakensberg on the fly
We head out to KZN and the greater Drakensberg area, to bring you an alternative take on ascending 1400 vertical metres, a world of off-piste trails and riding that will test the average man and his machine to their limits.

Review: Camelbak Volt LR Hydration Pack
Camelbak’s Charge was one of the manufacturers most popular bike packs when first introduced. It featured a unique low mounted reservoir, which centred the water weight over a rider’s hips. The Charge was adapted from Camelbak’s adventure/trekking line to include bike features, but was fairly compact with a 2lt reservoir and 8lt cargo space. Its […]
