Itās goātime! Load up your gear, strap on your gravel shoes, and aim for the wideāopen Karoo horizon. The Tanqua Kuru is calling, and weāre answering with throttles, pedals, and hearts wide open. At least four Sling aircraft and our solid team of riders will make the pilgrimage to Tankwa Tented Camp for whatās become an annual tradition of grit, gravel, and greatness.
Thereās still one title former Springbok Bob Skinstad hasnāt claimedā¦ This isnāt a stadium victory. No crowds, no ceremony, no easy applause. This one is fought for. Across endless gravel, through the dust, under the relentless Tankwa sun. And heās chasing it down on a Sling Cycles Tagati. So, the question is ā when he rolls up to the start lineā¦ will you be there with him?
