The Absa Cape Epic 2026, the highlight of the global Epic Series, rides over 692 kilometers of untamed South African wilderness and demands everything from the participants with 15,900 meters of elevation gain. From the dusty single trails of the Meerendal Wine Estate to the wild expanse of Montagu, over rough passes and endless trails near Greyton to the heart of Stellenbosch for the grand finale. The world's toughest stage race for mountain bikers charts a route through the Western Cape that is as brutal as it is beautiful.
