Without properly funded trails, there is no mountain biking. Without licences and organised structures, there is no racing. And without riders supporting the system, the system doesn\u2019t survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We fully endorse trail fees and CSA licensing &#8211; they are vital to the sustainability of cycling in South Africa. This campaign is simply our way of&nbsp;helping ease the financial pressure, particularly at a time when the cost of participation continues to rise, while still encouraging riders to contribute where it matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it as Cannondale investing back into the same trails, races, and communities that inspire us to build bikes in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69ea01e760481&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69ea01e760481\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"779\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C25_MSA_Chronicle_Desktop_03-1400x779.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C25_MSA_Chronicle_Desktop_03-1400x779.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C25_MSA_Chronicle_Desktop_03-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C25_MSA_Chronicle_Desktop_03-768x427.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C25_MSA_Chronicle_Desktop_03-1536x855.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C25_MSA_Chronicle_Desktop_03-2048x1140.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69ea01e7607d8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69ea01e7607d8\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C25_SuperX_PLP_Mobile.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-74631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C25_SuperX_PLP_Mobile.jpg 750w, https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C25_SuperX_PLP_Mobile-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2025\/12\/C25_SuperX_PLP_Mobile-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ride more.
