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!).
CIOVITA started as a dream to bring quality and innovation into the South African market, and has evolved and grown into an organization taking on R&D, Design, Manufacture, Testing and every step of the production process in their state-of-the-art facilities in Cape Town.
You can find CIOVITA kit on athletes taking on all sort of challenging events in the most competitive environments: from Epic stage races on the Swiss Alps to the 2,750-kilometer Rhino Run bikepacking race across South Africa and Namibia.
By owning every aspect of the kit’s journey from the initial sketch to the final stitch, CIOVITA can create apparel to the highest standards, while minimising waste, supporting the local community and having a diverse workforce.
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 provides a much needed stop and caffeine fix to anyone exploring the Peak District, thanks to their roastery located right in the heart of the National Park.

No adventure is too big or too small for Kickback Coffee, it's about the journey and the moments shared along the way.
