The Specialized Stellenbosch Experience Centre opened its doors in November 2021 at the historic Blaauwklippen Wine Estate. It serves as the brand’s premier hub in the Southern Hemisphere, designed to provide an “unfiltered” demo experience. Located just 900 meters from the flagship brand store, the center offers riders direct access to the world-class trail networks of the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains.

The center features a diverse rental fleet catering to all disciplines. Mountain bikers can choose from high-end models like the Epic 8, Epic EVO, and Stumpjumper, while those seeking electric assistance can rent Turbo Levo or Kenevo SL e-MTBs. For paved or gravel adventures, the Turbo Creo SL and Crux are available. Most rentals include the use of a Wahoo Roam unit pre-loaded with local routes to ensure a seamless self-guided experience.

For those preferring a social or structured environment, the center facilitates guided group rides and bespoke packages. These sessions are led by local experts who navigate the technical singletracks of Jonkershoek or scenic vineyard paths. Additionally, the facility features a Velosolutions pump track and kiddies’ area, making it a comprehensive destination for individual athletes and cycling families alike.

The related Farm Gym is on Blaauwklippen Wine Estate, and Oude Werf is in nearby Stellenbosch for accommodation.
