Why CityTrax

Certified

BMW Motorrad-certified instruction

Training is delivered by a BMW Motorrad-certified instructor. Riders of every motorcycle make are welcome.

Heritage

Born out of Country Trax

CityTrax originates from Country Trax, the internationally acclaimed BMW Motorrad accredited off-road training partner — bringing that pedigree onto the tar.

Safe ground

A closed, prepared training area

You learn inside Zwartkops on an area laid out for training. No traffic, no surprises — room to get it wrong safely.

Any bike

Your motorcycle, your pace

Bring your own bike so the skills transfer the moment you ride home. Rentals and gear can be arranged if you need them.

More about CityTrax
In their words

Riders who did the day

I went from zero experience to trusting myself completely on the bike. The instructor was extremely professional and made me feel safe and comfortable from start to end.
Kyla Steyn
The best motorcycle course around. The one-on-one course gave me the confidence and skill to ride a motorcycle on public roads again.
Kyle van Heyde
I am a new rider and he patiently took me through an amazing course and made me feel confident and capable, even when I made mistakes.
Jean-Marc Masson
I bought myself an F 750 GS for my 40th and fell over a few times at zero km. After today's training I actually feel I can do this. Short girls can ride bigger bikes.

Off-road training

Want to ride
off-road too?

CityTrax teaches on the tar. For gravel, sand and everything past the end of the road, that is Country Trax — the BMW Motorrad accredited off-road training partner CityTrax grew out of, run by the same family.
