Seek the Next Horizon: The Subaru Amohela MTB Challenge. There is a specific kind of magic that happens when the pavement ends and the world opens up. It’s that breathless second where the Maluti Mountains meet the sky, and you realize you aren’t just riding a trail, you’re chasing the sun across the most beautiful landscape in South Africa.

Gravel Shaker

16 May 2026
Bela Bela

Test your gravel skills on the tracks around the Sondela Nature Reserve, home to magnificent wildlife and just an hour’s drive from Pretoria central and two hours from Johannesburg. Choose from 110km, 50km and 30km –there’s also a special children’s race for budding cyclists.

 

Sani2c

22 to 24 May
Clarens, South Africa

Not only is the event well-known for its exceptional route, hospitality and gees (that’s the South African word for great spirit, mood or vibe), but the KAP sani2c business model is also highly-regarded for its innovative community focus.

Gravel riding has its own rhythm, long open roads, shifting terrain, and the quiet satisfaction of covering ground under your own power. Gravel Shaker captures that spirit, bringing riders together for a two-day journey defined by endurance, exploration, and the freedom that comes with every kilometer of gravel.

Set against the scenic backdrop of the Bela-Bela region, the event offers routes that test and reward in equal measure, from fast-rolling stretches to more technical terrain that demands focus and control.

Subaru Pretoria is proud to be part of this experience, supporting riders and spectators throughout the event. From the start line to the event hub, Subaru’s presence reflects a shared appreciation for capability, reliability, and the kind of terrain that invites you to go further. It’s a natural fit: vehicles
designed for confidence across changing conditions, alongside riders who seek out the same challenge, and sense of discovery.
 

Gravel Shaker is ultimately more than a ride. It’s a meeting point for a community drawn to the road lesstravelled, and the stories that come with it.

Sani2c

From the mountains to the sea – one of South Africa’s
most iconic mountain bike journeys.

06–09 May
Southern Drakensberg to Scottburgh, South Africa
 Sani2c

16 May 2026

Southern Drakensberg to
Scottburgh, South Africa

Few events capture the scale and spirit of South African mountain biking quite like the Sani2c. This multi-day stage race begins in the foothills of the Southern Drakensberg and winds its way through farmland, forests, and flowing single-track before finishing at the Indian Ocean in Scottburgh.

Over three unforgettable days in the saddle, traversing 270 kilometres, riders experience more than just distance and terrain. They become part of a tradition shaped by camaraderie, determination, and the quiet satisfaction of seeing each stage through to the end.

Participants can choose between two three-day race formats, each with its own energy. The KAP sani2c ‘OG’ is the original – where it all began – featuring pro teams, and an electric race village atmosphere. It runs Thursday to Saturday, and e-bikes are welcome.

Then there’s the KAP sani2c Adventure – the one for riders who want the challenge, the pace, and the post-ride stories without lining up against the pros. It starts on Wednesday and finishes on Friday, and no e-bikes are permitted. Same iconic route. Different vibe.

Subaru Pietermaritzburg joins the journey where preparation meets anticipation, engaging with riders and supporters as they move through one of the country’s most celebrated mountain biking corridors . In an event defined by progression, changing landscapes, and long days in motion, Subaru’s presence reflects an understanding of what it means to go the distance, with confidence that holds from the first climb to the final stretch.

Whether you’re riding, supporting a participant, or simply taking in the atmosphere, the Sani2c stands as a celebration of grit, community, and the enduring appeal of the trail.
