Basajaun – Expect the unexpected | SHIMANO

Basajaun is, as you’d expect for something named after the mythical guardian of the Basque Country’s most remote forests, a 760 km gravel race that’s chock-a-block with challenges.

Pitching itself alongside Badlands as the ‘ultimate unassisted gravel event in Europe,’ Shimano Gravel Alliance rider Ibai Fradejas knew he needed to be on the startline at the inaugural edition of this 760 km race which promises 15,000 metres of climbing and a 75/25 unpaved–paved ratio.

From lush forests to arid and barren plains, the banks of the Ebro River to the rugged Sierra de la Demanda, scaling Pico San Lorenzo before cutting through the Izko Natural Park, there was no semblance of monotony throughout his 48-hour riding time.
