We are thrilled to welcome Cycle Lab back into the Weekend Warrior partner ecosystem. Riders across all 2026/2027 stages will benefit from professional race-day mechanical support, tech zones, and exclusive participant gear vouchers.
Mountain bike stage racing pushes both rider and machine to the limit. Having dedicated technical backup on the trails is the difference between nursing a mechanical back to the village and setting a personal record. Through our extended partnership with Cycle Lab, every participant gains access to pro-tier trackside support.
WORLD-CLASS TRACKSIDE MECHANICAL SUPPORT
Cycle Lab technicians will be stationed at key water points along both the Grabouw and Lourensford stages. From emergency chain repairs to drivetrain tune-ups and tubeless tire plugs, the support crew ensures you stay rolling safely.
“Weekend Warrior embodies the true community spirit of South African mountain biking. We are proud to keep every rider rolling smoothly from the start chute to the finish arch.”

EXCLUSIVE PARTICIPANT RACE PERKS
Every registered rider for the upcoming series receives a dedicated R150 Cycle Lab voucher in their official race pack, redeemable for essential spares, nutrition, and apparel across all retail stores nationwide.
HOW TO PREPARE YOUR BIKE
Prior to arriving at the race village, riders are encouraged to book a comprehensive multi-point safety check at any local Cycle Lab branch. Ensure your brakes, sealant, and drivetrains are prepped for steep ascents and rugged singletracks.
