Welcome to Explore

Experience breathtaking destinations. Experience camaraderie on the trails. Experience world class mountain bike stage racing. Explore with the Epic Series. Launching alongside the 2025 European events – the SPAR Swiss Epic, Andorra Epic Pyrenees, and 4Islands Epic – Explore gives more riders the opportunity to experience the challenges and the celebrations of the Epic Series.

Boasting an individual rider, two-day format each Explore event will place mountain bikers within the race village to immerse them in the overall event. Even though there are fewer stages and therefore a less demanding overall race, the memories created will last a lifetime and perhaps inspire participation in a full Epic Series event in the future...

The all-conquering Toyota Specialized team completed their clean sweep of FNB Wines2Whales stage victories on the final day of the 2024 Shiraz race - from Oak Valley to Benguela Cove - on Sunday, 10 November. Matt Beers and Alex Miller’s margin of victory was 7 minutes and 42 seconds.

Stage 2 of the FNB Wines2Whales Shiraz produced another dramatic day of racing. Toyota Specialized went on an early attack, but a crash with 15 kilometres to go could so easily have ended Alex Miller’s race.

Matt Beers and Alex Miller powered into an early lead and never let off the throttle on Stage 1 of the FNB Wines2Whales Shiraz.
