SOUTH AMERICA OVERLAND WITH DESERT FOX

We are following the latest in a fascinating series of extended overland trips with Desert Fox.

Harold Pienaar, South African creator and designer of the brand, along with his partner Linda, are in Montevideo at the start of a 3 month overland trip that will take them across much of South America and thoroughly test the Desert Fox gear that makes up much of their equipment.

This is their 6^th epic trip, having biked through 55 countries around the world since 2010.

Desert Fox saw its beginnings after their first major trip, from South Africa up the length of Africa and ending in the Netherlands. Early on in their travels they saw the need for solid, premium level but affordable gear to meet everyday challenges as well as ways to improve on existing designs.

Since then, the range has grown to where it is now available in 16 countries worldwide.

For this trip the bikes are fitted out with Storm 700 soft panniers and Storm 380 duffel bags. To tackle repairs and other issues enroute they also packed Desert Fox Pro tool kits and Overland fuel bladders.

This is not only an enjoyable adventure. It is also a testing ground for new products which will be put through their paces ahead of being launched in 2026.
