We from 8bar love to ride our bikes ourselves and go on trips that deviate somewhat from the average.
Starting in 2012 by crossing the Alps with our fixed-gear bikes, to taking a trip from Berlin to Prague without the help of a map with our Singlespeed Cyclocross bikes in 2013 and climbing the Schneekoppe, the highest peak of the Giant Mountains in Poland, in 2014 with our road bikes.
This time we decided on Africa, the Atlas Mountains in the middle of Morocco to be more precise, as our next destination. The Atlas forms a striking divided line between the relatively humid climate in the far north of Maghreb to the extremely dry Sahara. - กีฬา
Great trip, 8 days was a bit snug for this type of adventure. Well done on the video!
That film proves you don't need a drone to be good. Thanks for inspiration!
Cracking video mate , I m jealous I need to plan to go there next year
what an amazing trip and brilliant video - i am booked to cycle across the high atlas mountains in November 2021 - providing we are aloud to travel by then - so this video has wet my appetite - many thanks for sharing!
Amazing views, inspiring ....
Outstanding video! Thanks for sharing your journey!
What a great adventure, I’m jealous 😊
Fantastic shots/ inspiring video. Keep it up! 👍
Guys amazing work..... Wonderful video... 👍👍
Amazing! This deserves way more views!
Amazing 🥰
Nice 👍👌
perfect for lunch break
Welcome to morocco
Beautiful video. The whole time I was wondering what it would be like to ride that terrain with a fat bike
Good filming ......lots of risks being taken though on the downhills ...take more care....🤷🏼♂️😉
Amazing, what bike models did you use?
Hi, I would like to visit Atlas Mtns with my bike, thinking of the begining of the next year which month was it when you went there? cheers.
Ditch the lycra
Agree look way to western.... 🤷🏼♂️
Yep agree, totally inappropriate clothing for this ride. They look like Pro riders who have got lost.
Absolut geile Sache...Meineserachtens hattet Ihr zu viel Gepäck mit...Hattet Ihr schon beim Atlasmountainrace teilgenommen?
Das war einer unserer ersten Bikepacking Trips und wir haben sicher nicht optimal gepackt. Allerdings waren die Temperaturen auch zwischen -2 und 25°C.
how did you ship the bikes to marocco ?
We went by plane with the bikes.

Why are people spec-ing 50/34 road gearing for this?! Ultegra crank at 3:00.
Link your strava for day one. Also make a video on what you should've bring.
What´s your hurry, what are you runnung for - do it slower and you can see much more!
Why is it that all bikepackers seem to be in a great rush?
@@shihtzuexpert3142 They cannot socialze with the locals, only the challenge seems to be important
We were also socializing with locals of course. We were (a bit) in a rush, because we booked our return flights already and thought that it would be more easy to do 100km/ day before we have been there.
Pro-tip watch this in 1.25 speed.
OMG and I just read about two Norwegian Students who were killed in morocco while hiking. D=
Nichts für die Kinder, nur lumpige 8bar Aufkleber 🤨👎🏼...
Hab ich auch bemerkt 😢
Good trip but why you take soo much gear with you
Because we were camping outside and the temperature was between -2 and 25°C.
Let me add to 8-bar's response, as I just got back from biking Morocco:
1) Because you never know what you need. (For example, I brought a water filtration system and 25' piece of string to get water from wells, but never needed them, as I was able to always buy bottled water, when I needed it. (I also carried more water than they seem to be carrying.))
2) Some things you bring you will not need. (My bike is old, my spoke lengths are uncommon. So I need to travel with different-length extra spokes. I also need to travel with hardware to remove the cassette cluster, if a rear spoke on that side breaks. I've never needed this hardware, but if I do some day, it won't be available in the towns and villages near where I'm biking.)
3)They're traveling with camera equipment (probably more than the iPhone I traveled with.)
They seem to be traveling pretty light...
