Our Sponsors
We are proud to have some of the best cycling and outdoor brands sponsoring the event and look forward to a successful first edition with their support.
Schwalbe are recognised around the world as a bicycle tyre brand that produces high-tech, cutting-edge tyres. With an extensive range of tyres covering all genres of riding, they have a tyre pattern/width combination for you whatever terrain you ride and whice any conditions.
We are great fans of well known staples like the Racing Ralph & Ray, and used them to successfully complete an ultra race on the Italian Alps. The ever expanding G-One range of gravel tyres offers anything from race-specific to versatile all-around tyres.
Schwalbe focuses on making long-lasting products and are at the forefront of tyre and tube recycling. We have clocked 1000s of km on our Marathon Plus and they’re still going strong (with no punctures!).
GRVL Apparel makes a performance range of gravel-specific cycle apparel designed by gravel riders for gravel riders.
We are especially fans of the GRVL merino blend tops which are perfect for ever changing weather conditions in the UK and great for multi-day rides.
All GRVL items are manufactured in Europe by ethical, sustainable factories using environmentally friendly performance fabrics and components.
Tailfin manufactures bags for all sort of bikes, and all sort of adventures from fast-paced races to multi-day epic unsupported adventures. If you follow - or “dot-watch” - any off-road races lately you will have spotted the Tailfin Aero-pack on several bikes and for good reasons.
With some of the best riders in their R&D Division, Tailfin is committed to develop the best bags in the market, while giving back to the bikepacking community by sponsoring initiatives such as the Ultra Distance Scolarship, which aims to increasing diversity and representation within ultra-distance cycling and racing.
Redshift Sports was founded in 2013 by a team of mechanical engineers who also happen to be avid cyclists. They create components that make a meaningful difference to the cycling experience and allow riders to go faster and further.
Their ShockStop Suspension System greatly enhances comfort on and off-road taking the sting out of bumpy trails, and they also make aero-systems and handlebars that allow you to take your kitchen sink when bikepacking.
We look forward to seeing this great bunch of people continuing to bring new and innovative products to the market.
Bum Butter is a chemical-free and vegan friendly chamois cream/balm designed to lubricate the contact points with the saddle, prevent chafing and keep your engine going.
Their cream is made in Dorset and packaged in Hebden Bridge just north of the Peak District. It has antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties and has kept our bottom happy with just a single application on tough bikepacking events and sub-24hrs efforts.
Used by female and male pro cyclists, we never go bikepacking without one of their 10ml portable tubs.
Kickback Coffee was grown from a fascination surrounding coffee roasting. With their Roastery located in the heart of the Peak District, Kickback Coffee provides a much needed stop and caffeine fix to help people exploring further, whether they are on bikes, trail running shoes or hiking boots. We never pass on the opportunity to stop there when we are in the area.
Kickback Coffee pride themselves on sharing their stories and memories of the outdoors. Their mission is to inspire and encourage their community to spend more time in the outdoors. No adventure is too big or too small for Kickback Coffee, it's about the journey and the moments shared along the way. They are also proud members of 1% for the Planet by spending 1% of revenue on non-profit organisations that focus on positive environmental changes."
Styrkr [ stir-kuh ] meaning strength in Old Norse.
The Styrkr sports fuel range is the culmination of many months of research and development with one clear focus: to help everyday athletes reach their next endurance goal.
All Styrkr drinks, gels and salts have been specifically engineered to reduce overall fatigue and energy expenditure from the body, while maintaining power and increasing output throughout endurance activity.
Styrkr started from Christian's personal ambition to develop products that work for him as a cyclist, and they manufacture all of their amazing products in the UK.
Zolla is an Italian word meaning everything from a literal bump in the road, to a tectonic plate. Zolla’s mission is to help riders make molehills out of mountains. They understand that a broken spoke or a hub that needs dismantling is not just an annoyance, it can be the difference between finishing an event and scratching. Between the podium and the Maglia Nera. Their wheels are designed to keep you rolling on all surfaces and over any distance.
The wheel brand start-up builds wheels designed around the demands of ultra-endurance and Zolla wheels have been ridden to success at several races.
Zolla wheels are designed in Italy with a Ukrainian heart, manufactured around the world, and hand-built in the UK.
