After 10 years of great adventures (and a post-COVID reset), the Alps Epic comes back stronger in 2026: the spirit stays the same, and the race evolves in the ways many riders have been waiting for.

New dates: 7–12 September 2026 (early check-in possible on 6 September).

Moving to late summer helps avoid early-season snow, fits better with the international calendar, and gives everyone more time to prepare for a great edition.

Race format:

  • 6 stages to explore the Hautes-Alpes even deeper.
  • Stage 1 introduces a semi individual time-trial format.
  • The remaining stages will be mass-start, just like always.
Two races, one epic week
  • Two events run on the same dates: MTB and Gravel.
  • Choose your challenge — race it hard, or ride it to live the full experience.
100% rideable mindset
  • A clear commitment to the “100% bike” objective.
  • Minimal hike-a-bike whenever possible.
  • Climbs designed to be as rideable as possible, descents with a flow spirit.
Packs upgraded:

Packs Blue and Black level up thanks to the partnership with MASQUEBICI and Cap Liberté.

  • Accommodation is now in 2-person rooms with private bathrooms for both Blue and Black packs.

  • Black Pack includes a premium service level for massage and mechanics (details on the official website).

Registrations
  • 50 slots are available at the Early-Booking rate — don’t miss it.
  • Choose your format: Entry only / Blue Pack / Black Pack / Companion options.
  • For Spanish-speaking riders, contact MASQUEBICI.

In the Alps, every detail matters.

Alps Epic is a demanding stage race, with elevation, technical terrain, and changing conditions.\n\nIn this context, team experience is essential to anticipate problems, manage equipment, and support riders throughout the week.

MASQUEBICI brings experience in alpine stage races, providing mechanical and assistance services adapted to the reality of Alps Epic.

When the environment is demanding, having the right team makes the difference.

In a long journey, the right support changes everything.

During Transpyr, days accumulate and small issues quickly become bigger problems. A poor support choice can affect the entire week.

Having an experienced team allows anticipation of issues, optimal bike maintenance, and better management of rider fatigue.

MASQUEBICI brings real experience at Transpyr, supporting riders so they can focus on riding without worrying about logistics or mechanics.

The difference is not only in finishing, but in how you reach the finish each day.

Transpyr is not raced. It is crossed.

Transpyr is one of the most demanding events on the calendar, not only because of its route, but because of everything it involves: logistics, continuity, and physical and mental fatigue.

Preparing Transpyr as a simple race often leads to mistakes. It is a journey that requires planning, technical support, and a global view of the entire week.

MASQUEBICI supports riders at Transpyr with mechanical, assistance, and logistical services, allowing them to focus on riding and enjoying the route.

Registering is only the first step. Preparing it properly makes the difference.

In a stage race, recovery is as important as the stage itself.

The Titan Desert is a daily accumulation of physical effort. Each stage requires the body to recover and perform again the next day. In this context, massage is not an extra — it is a working tool.

Proper recovery helps reduce fatigue, improve mobility, and prepare the body for the following stage. Ignoring recovery often leads to progressive performance loss and increased injury risk.

The massage service at the Titan Desert Morocco is official and exclusive, provided by MASQUEBICI. Our team works with a sports-focused approach, adapting each session to the rider’s condition and the demands of the race.

In the desert, taking care of your body is not a luxury. It is part of the strategy to reach the finish line.

In the desert, a small mechanical issue is never just a small issue.

Mechanical reliability is critical in the Titan Desert. Heat, sand, long distances, and accumulated fatigue turn minor problems into real risks.

Poorly adjusted shifting, worn drivetrains, badly prepared wheels, or small oversights before the start can quickly cost time, energy, or even force a withdrawal.

That’s why mechanics at the Titan Desert cannot be improvised. They require specific experience, deep equipment knowledge, and anticipation. It’s not only about fixing problems, but about preventing them.

MASQUEBICI has been selected by the organization to provide the mechanical service at the Titan Desert Morocco. This means a deep understanding of the course, the most common issues, and how to act quickly and efficiently in demanding conditions.

Racing with the confidence that your bike is in expert hands makes a real difference throughout the entire week.
