The International GS Trophy 2024
The venue of the Int. GS Trophy 2024 has been announced: the off-road adventure will be taking us to Namibia. Now that the Int. GS Trophy has travelled around all continents throughout the globe, it returns to where it all began – Africa. Namibia impresses with beautiful landscapes, what are know as the big five and many other animal species. Hot days end with crimson sunsets. The night sky that follows is overwhelming and starry. The trip to Namibia will be a unique experience with a lot of #SpiritOfGS. We can hardly wait!
Once-in-a-lifetime experience
It goes without saying that the exact routes for the Int. GS Trophy 2024 are still top secret until the event itself kicks off. However, we can already promise you one thing: it will be an unforgettable experience where participants will be able to demonstrate their riding skills and expertise as part of ambitious challenges.
It’s all about skills and team spirit. In addition to plenty of sandy stints, the route will also take us up Namibia's mountains and therefore present us with some rocky stretches. Even for experienced Enduro riders, Namibia will be an once-in-a-lifetime adventure that will remain a lasting memory.

Pure woman power in Spain
Pure woman power in Spain
From 26 to 27/01/24, the 14 international female teams put their talent to the test riding the R 1300 GS in Malaga. 28 women from 17 countries once again showed off their skills riding enduro bikes at the Int. GS Trophy 2024 Female Qualifier in Spain. In a total of eight of the different special challenges, competitors vied to make it into the Int. GS Trophy 2024 and take the trip to Namibia. Now the final teams who will fight for the title in Africa have been determined. We commend them for making it this far!
Our Team for South Africa
They have been preparing for this event for a long time – and training hard. And it’s all paid off. Introducing: our men’s team for South Africa! These talented bikers have managed to beat the competition in the national qualifiers thanks to their impressive skills. That means a definite entry to the Int. GS Trophy 2024 for Marthinus, Jean Pierre, and Ruhan. But, of course, the three bikers still have plenty of time to enjoy the excitement – and continue preparing for the once-in-a-lifetime event in Namibia. Get to know the three men a little bit better here.
Marthinus van Rooyen
24-Year-old Marthinus from Gauteng works for a company specialised in industrial fridges. He’s been riding motorcycles for a long time – he even rode a bike to school. At some point, his thirst for adventure overcame him, and he took a trip to Lesotho. His tour guide gave him the idea to participate in the Int. GS Trophy.
Jean Pierre Boer
Jean Pierre is 27 years old and comes from Pretoria. The company founder comes from a motorcycling family, and has had an interest in bikes since childhood. At the age of 18, his mother gave him his first motorcycle so that he could run errands and get by in his day-to-day life with more flexibility. Soon after, Jean Pierre realised that he wanted to experience more of the world, and his tours became longer and longer. Not long after that, he bought his first R 1200 GS.
Ruhan De Villiers
Motorcycles have always been important to Ruhan, who works as a financial advisor in Western Cape Langebaan. The 48-year-old has always enjoyed off-road riding most of all, and he likes to ride motorbikes with his wife. So it’s no wonder that he’s been following the events of the Int. GS Trophy for some years now.
