We couldn't be more stoked to officially be opening the second Curve Adventure Dojo! Curve have been spreading the word of wide bar, fat tyre adventure riding across the globe for over a decade and now it is time for our first outpost outside of our home in Melbourne, Australia in Malaga, Spain.
Our showroom will be loaded with dream machines ready for you to check out and test ride. So swing by, say g'day to the squad and join them for a coffee (or beer)! Located perfectly to get you out on the gravel trails!
Malaga's year round warm weather, never ending network of gravel and glorious climbs make it the ideal location for winter get aways from the Northern European winter. A hub for outstanding food, music and vibrant culture, Malaga can be much more than just a cycling get away.
So whether you want to visit without the hassle of flying with your bike, or want our Expedition team to show you the roads on one of our Project Winter Sun weekends, we're super excited to show you why Malaga is a favourite spot in Europe!

Whether it's your Sunday road racer, gravel grinder or MTB trail bike, our workshop is now open to all bikes, regardless of the brand, for servicing and repairs. From regular check-ups to pre-adventure overhauls, we can undertake maintenance work on the majority of bikes in-house, with the exception of welding/carbon repairs, resprays, some suspension products* and some quality exclusions. The latter can be coordinated with our partners accordingly.
So if you're in need of some TLC for your bike, get in contact with our workshop team via the booking form below or give us a call! Be sure to mention the bike model/part name when getting in contact so that we can best help with your service.
*Please contact the workshop directly before booking to ensure servicing is viable.
Project Winter Sun is a series of adventurous road and gravel weekends from Curve's European HQ, based in Malaga. We've organised the weekends for you! We've taken care of all the annoying things like finding the best roads, making delicious restaurant reservations, and discovering local treats both on and off the bike to enjoy!
You take care of your accomodation, we have taken care of the rest! Lunch and Dinner will be included over three days of awesome riding. The Curve European squad will be guiding the rides each day, with mechanical support if you need it! As well as hosting you for dinner each night in some of our favourite Malaga spots! Knowing the best restaurants is a local skill. (As is splitting the bill with a large group!) To make this whole process easier, it's all included in the cost of your ticket. Meals, drinks, and pro mechanical support!
The weekends gradually build up in difficulty building towards a longer flashpacking adventure in early February. In which we will pack our bags and stay overnight in a beautiful spot high up in the hills above Malaga. Finally the Gran Sendero De Malaga; a mystery route gravel mission designed to be possible in anywhere from 1 to 3 days, depending how much of a hellcat you are! The inaugural edition will commence on Easter weekend, early April 2026.
UPCOMING WEEKENDS:
5 - 8 DEC: Gravel Weekend
23 - 25 JAN: Road Weekend
6 - 8 FEB: Gravel Flashpacking Weekend
