Since 2019 eBikes have been welcomed to the FNB Wines2Whales Pinotage race. With the option to race or tour there is an electric event for every e-MTB rider.
Every year the Absa Cape Epic gathers over 1 000 mountain bikers in four or five towns in the Western Cape. That is only the start of the impact on tourism, though, as the teams travel with an army of family members, fans, mechanics and masseuses.
The Absa Cape Epic, the world’s premier mountain bike stage race, and Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) have announced a new partnership wherein Toyota becomes a Headline Sponsor of the event.
