*EARLY BIRD SALE-BOOK BEFORE 1 AUGUST 2025*
Kickstart an 8-day adrenaline-fueled ride through New Zealand’s South Island—built for riders who crave wild terrain, raw landscapes, and serious seat time.
Get ready to take on over 40 river and water crossings as we tear across some of the most remote and breathtaking backcountry routes the island has to offer.
We’ve got a plan—but it’s not set in stone. The ride can shift with the group’s mood and appetite for adventure. This journey isn’t for beginners—solid off-road experience is key to getting the most out of what’s ahead.
With more than 2,000 kilometers to cover and 65% of it on dirt, gravel, and grit, this isn’t just a ride—it’s a test of skill, endurance, and spirit.
