During The Traka, we introduced our print magazine to industry friends, and it will be showcased again next week at Sea Otter Europe. We were actually curious to know their opinion on our decision to launch this format after more than 10 years of being online-only, and their honest answers were music to our ears. And you, when was the first time you heard about us? Do you think we have made the right choice? See you in Girona!

Badlands is an unrepeatable experience, but not for everyone, as some are crazy enough to tackle the challenge for a second time. Pol Tarrés (.tarres) and Johnny Anaya () had some unfinished business with the event and wanted to redeem themselves. Although they somewhat knew what to expect, the extreme heat and relentless terrain tested their limits, and covering the 791km with +16.893m of elevation gain that separated them from Capileira was way harder than expected.

When it was time to develop the second iteration of the URS, the engineers at were free to be as wild as desired, intending to differentiate their adventure gravel bike from the racing machine Kaius even more. The acronym URS comes from “unrestricted”, and the final result of their most recent launch lives up to that concept.

After a short call with Simon in early August, we could not be more excited to take part in the inaugural edition of on September 14-20th. Alongside Cyril and Aaron , they had designed a set of three self-supported gravel routes of increasing beauty and difficulty in the French Alps, and they were ready to welcome a small group of riders looking for an end-of-summer adventure. History says that the pilgrim Saint Roch traveled around and what he enjoyed the most was the people, food, and scenery he found along his journey.
