A JOURNEY BEYOND – FROM ISTANBUL TO TEHRAN

“The word ‘epic’ is often over used, but when it comes from our friend Marc Maurer, who 2014 rode from Cologne to the Caspian Sea and decided rather than to fly home, he’d just turn around and ride back…we had to pay attention. Marc’s journey is fully justified as ‘epic’ he left mid of may headed for Istanbul, Turkey and the Caucasus Mountains. His journey will total 4000km, passing through culturally rich regions of Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and finally Iran. Along the way he will visit many stunning locations across the Caucasus, we simply can not wait to see the photos.

Marc will be traveling alone for the most part, but will occasionally be meeting up with friends for certain stretches of the journey. His daily companion will be our prototype ‘Beyond’, a bike built for adventure. The Beyond is designed to be capable for virtually any adventure you have in mind. On road or off it, the Beyond uses a geometry that ensures a stable and solid feeling no matter how loaded the bike is. Marc is carrying everything he needs with him thanks to a set of bike bags and rear pannier bags. In addition to the luggage, Marc has made a few other adjustments to the bike for his trip, with a TT bar, dyno hub and his trusty Flite saddle”.
