Ready to trade your trainer screen for 1,300 kilometers of untamed, off-grid wilderness? Our brand-new 90-minute Inspiration workout—SOUTH: The Tour Te Waipounamu Story—is available now in Wahoo SYSTM!

Take a front-row seat as a cross-section of athletes from a variety of disciplines take on one of the most rugged, backcountry bikepacking races on the planet.

**What to Expect**

- **The Route:** Travel from Cape Farewell at the northernmost point of New Zealand’s South Island all the way to Slope Point, the most southerly tip.

- **The Access:** Route founder Brian Alder put together a unique 1,300km course traversing private stations otherwise inaccessible to the public, blending remote walking trails with historic tracks.

- **The Journey:** The film charts the original concept of the race and follows the raw drama, grit, and high stakes as riders navigate the inaugural challenge.

- **The Workout:** 1 hour, 30 minutes of steady endurance focus—perfect for building base capacity while getting completely lost in the story.

Fire up SYSTM, clip in, and get ready for a deep dive into the New Zealand backcountry.

You can definitely turn music off for any video during a workout but it also gets rid of the people talking
