Now in its fourth year, the South African Mountain Biking Survey, presented by Garmin, reveals the preferences of mountain bikers when it comes to racing, riding, bikes, clothing, components, gear, performance measurement and more… It takes a few minutes to complete the survey. One lucky respondent will win Garmin’s new Edge 1040, probably the world’s most complete cycling GPS device.

Earlier this year, Garmin introduced its newest cycling-specific GPS performance device yet – the Edge 1040. Following various gadget expert reviews, it’s considered the most complete cycling computer there is. Garmin is offering an Edge 1040 worth R11999 to one lucky respondent to the 2022 SA Mountain Biking Survey, presented by Garmin.
We kicked off the annual South African Mountain Biking Survey in 2019 and Garmin has been our presenting partner each year. As the market begins to normalise after the global disruption of the Covid-19 virus reaction, we’re keen to find out more about you and your mountain biking.
We use the annual survey to gauge preferences, track trends and get an overall picture of the South African mountain biking consumer market. We break the reveal into four categories – You and Your Riding; Your Bike; Your Gear and Your Performance Measurement. But all the questions are in this survey which should take less than 8 minutes to complete.
