The Karkloof 40km Classic is the definitive Karkloof experience — the full trail system in a single advanced loop that has established Karkloof’s reputation as one of South Africa’s finest indigenous forest trail venues. Technical singletrack with rocky sections, sustained climbing and the full beauty of the Karkloof forest create an advanced ride of genuine quality.

What to Expect

Technical forest singletrack on advanced terrain with significant elevation change through the Karkloof Conservancy. The route accesses the full depth of the trail system — from the more accessible forest sections to the technical rocky climbs and descents on the outer loops. A genuinely challenging advanced ride that rewards skilled, fit riders with exceptional forest scenery throughout.
