GRAVEL EVENT GUIDE

Gravel Burn bike guide

25–30 October 20276 daysEastern Cape, South Africa

Ride it right.

A six-day point-to-point race across the Eastern Cape frontier. Speed matters, but durability, tyre volume, fit and the ability to recover day after day matter more.

THE BIKE

What works here

Checkmate is the race-focused choice, Checkpoint balances speed with long-day comfort and carrying capacity, and Check-Out adds control for rougher, more technical gravel.
