Biggest MTB series in the world

Biggest MTB series in the world

Unpacking Trailseeker

The Trailseeker Series took Mzansi’s adrenaline lovers by storm in 2008 when in it was first introduced by Advendurance (now Faces). It was all about creating a safe, exciting and accessible family event for mountain-bike fans living in big cities.

Today, it’s a combination of the Gauteng and Western Cape School XCM, as well as the CSA provincial series. This is one of the many reasons why the Trailseeker Series has elevated its way to become the biggest mountain-bike series worldwide, with its unique family filled experiences at selected, breathtaking venues.

Since 2022, Ford has been proudly driving the success of the Trailseeker Series by sponsoring reliable vehicles at all their events. This includes SUVs, and Rangers to run errands that make the event outstanding.

"At Ford, we believe in not only providing exceptional vehicles but also in fostering a community that embraces the spirit of adventure and exploration," said Doreen Mashinini, General Manager, Marketing, of Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa. "We are elated to be the title sponsor of the Trailseeker Series, an iconic platform that celebrates the thrill of mountain biking and resonates with our brand values of freedom, innovation, and durability."
