We kicked off the annual South African Mountain Biking Survey in 2019 and Garmin has been our presenting partner each year. 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 about 10 minutes to complete.
