The latest WCOC off-road event delivered another fantastic weekend of racing, bringing together riders, families, and supporters for an enjoyable day in one of South Africa's most scenic off-road settings. The sandy terrain provided a demanding challenge throughout the event, testing both rider fitness and machine performance. As the day progressed, the soft conditions became increasingly technical, rewarding riders who could maintain momentum while managing fatigue in the deep sand. One of the biggest positives to come from the weekend was the noticeable increase in BikeWise-supported brands throughout the paddock. Compared with previous events, Pirelli tyres were far more visible, with numerous riders choosing brand-new front and rear combinations and sharing excellent feedback on their performance in the demanding sandy conditions. It was encouraging to see the continued growth in the use of BikeWise products, reinforcing the confidence more riders are placing in the Pirelli brand. |

The BikeWise family would like to extend our best wishes to BikeWise-supported rider Wade Roger-Lund following a serious accident during the event. Wade sustained multiple injuries and remains in hospital, but we are pleased to hear that he is in a stable condition and has begun the road to recovery. We wish Wade a full and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back at the races when the time is right.
Events such as WCOC continue to demonstrate the strength of South Africa's off-road community, where riders, families, and supporters come together through a shared passion for the sport. BikeWise is proud to be part of that journey and remains committed to supporting riders both on and off the track.
