Curve and Dream Factory Racing are thrilled to announce the arrival of Drikus Coetzee as a supported rider for the 2026 season in his pursuit of ultra-distance racing success! Drikus is lining up to race the 1000km Race Around Rwanda this weekend on his brand new Big Kev and we can’t wait to see how he goes.
"My journey began as an ITU Elite Triathlete, competing internationally in Continental Cups, World Cups, and the WTS World Triathlon Series. While I embraced the full triathlon discipline, it was cycling that truly captured my heart and strength. In 2017, I made the decision to go all-in on the bike, turning my focus toward what would become my defining pursuit: Ultra-Endurance Cycling.
Since then, I’ve forged my identity in some of the world’s toughest races, multi-day, high-mileage events that demand more than just talent. They demand obsession, resilience, and absolute commitment. From record-breaking performances in The Munga to podium finishes on African roads, I ride to explore the edges of human potential. I believe my best is yet to come, and I’m just getting started."
Join us here at Curve at welcoming Drikus and wishing him good luck for an incredible 2026 season!
