Mechanical Service for Cape Epic 2026: performance, safety and peace of mind for every stage
In the Absa Cape Epic, it is not only the rider who competes. The bicycle also endures one of the toughest tests in the world of MTB. Rocks, dust, mud, heat, rain and hundreds of kilometers of demanding terrain can take a toll without proper support. That is why we created our MASQUEBICI Mechanical Service for Cape Epic 2026: a complete and professional assistance plan to ensure that your bike starts every stage ready to perform at its best.
Our approach goes beyond basic tuning. It combines race-proven technical precision, stage-race experience and personalized care. Your job is to ride. Ours is to make sure your bike is prepared to withstand the challenge.
Initial build and full setup
The service begins on registration day. We assemble your bike and run a comprehensive check of every component: drivetrain, brakes, wheels, pressure and suspension system. We fine-tune every detail to guarantee maximum safety and optimal performance at the start of the race.
Pre-stage assistance each morning
Every morning your bike receives a quick but thorough inspection to detect anything that could compromise your performance. We check tire and suspension pressure, shifting tension, brake adjustments, lubrication and general condition. Small adjustments can make a big difference before a demanding day of racing.
Post-stage deep maintenance
At the end of each stage, your bike undergoes a full service: cleaning, drying, lubrication and a complete inspection. We correct any damage, wear or mechanical issues so that the bicycle starts the next day in perfect condition. If the day ends late, we stay until everything is ready. That commitment is what defines MASQUEBICI.
Optional final packing
After the last stage in Cape Town, we can disassemble and pack your bike for the flight home if needed. After eight intense days of racing, you will not have to worry about tools or bike cases.
Service conditions
All labor, cleaning products and lubrication are included. Replacement parts (drivetrain, brakes, tires, etc.) are billed separately. Suspension, dropper post or carbon frame repairs will be quoted as additional services.
Service times and locations will be communicated a few days before the event and may be adjusted depending on race dynamics and organization regulations.
Early booking recommended
The price of the service will increase by €30 on January 1 and by an additional €30 on February 1. To guarantee your spot and maintain the current price, we recommend booking early.
In the Cape Epic, every detail matters. A well-maintained bike not only improves performance, but also protects your safety and your overall experience. With MASQUEBICI, you will have the support of expert mechanics who know what it takes to perform in the most demanding stage races in the world. Your goal is to enjoy the adventure. Our goal is to make it possible.
