From frozen mornings at Afriski to the chaos of Maseru, this episode takes us deep into the heart of Lesotho. We leave the roof of the country in cold temperatures, battle electrical gremlins, and descend through high-altitude passes.
Smooth flowing gravel gave way to rutted mountain tracks, technical sections shaped by rain and livestock, and wide-open highlands where the only thing between us and Afriski was throttle and horsepower.
After leaving the massive Katse Dam, we drop straight off the tar and onto a wild, unknown gravel road that hugs the edge of the reservoir. This is the kind of route you only find by exploring, barely mapped, rarely filmed.
Get ready for something a little different. Today I swapped two wheels for four and hit the dusty dirt track at Xtreme Outdoor Karting for a full-send karting session.
This episode takes us deep into the heart of the Mountain Kingdom, from Masoba-Soba Lodge at the top of Sani Pass, across the thin-air heights of Black Mountain Pass, and all the way to the mighty Katse Dam.
Sani Pass, a name that every adventure rider knows. It’s not just a road, it’s a rite of passage. In this episode, we take on Sani Pass, one of Africa’s most legendary mountain climbs.
From Rhodes to the roof of the Eastern Cape, this is adventure riding at its rawest. We take on Naude’s Nek, one of South Africa’s highest gravel passes, in rain, wind and freezing mist.
From the quiet mountain town of Lady Grey, the crew begins the first leg of the Lesotho Adventure. Our route climbs high over Joubert’s Pass, one of the Eastern Cape’s legendary Ben 10 Challenge passes.
Before the dust, the mud, and the mountain passes, comes the preparation. The XPLR South Africa crew gears up for one of the toughest and most scenic rides in the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho.
Sometimes the long way round gets a little messy. For this XPLR South Africa adventure, we set out from home aiming for Paarl, but not the quick way.
What starts as a cold, muddy adventure to Darling Brewery quickly turns into a ride none of us will forget. With 9 bikes braving 5°C conditions, slippery mud trails, and deep water crossings.
It was 5°C, the roads were soaked and 9 adventure bikes were gunning it to one destination: Darling Brewery. This isn’t your average scenic ride, it’s a full-on muddy mission.
Our ride took a serious turn when Jako on his KTM 1290 Adventure R lost traction and went down hard on a slippery dual-track trail. Thick mud, narrow ruts, and a whole lot of momentum.
Join us on an epic motorcycle adventure through the heart of the Cederberg. From the iconic Bainskloof Pass to the dusty Cederberg Oasis deep in the red-rock valleys.
Here's a quick teaser to the upcoming Cederberg Beer Run Movie. Ride along with us as we explore the Cederberg on Adventure Bikes.
