Raid Trans Mauritania (RTM) Fatbike 6th Edition


February 8, 2025 February 15, 2025

You’ve always dreamed of exploring the desert on a mountain bike, the Raid TransMauritania is for you. Also known as the RTM, it’s an adventure for fatbikes – mountain bikes with oversized tyres – in the sand dunes of the Mauritanian desert. During one week, participants will cycle between 4 and 6 hours, every morning to take advantage of the optimal temperature conditions.

The use of fatbike is mandatory in the Mauritanian Adrar area. Even if the terrain sometimes offers rocky tracks, we will look for a maximum of passages in the sandy dunes to offer you amazing sensations while riding down the slopes.

With a untimed ride format, everyone can ride at their own pace. If you’re a regular competitor then you’ll enjoy riding down the seas of dunes or trying to make a breakaway up a hill. On the other hand, if you prefer to take your time and enjoy the landscape, you will be delighted by the discovery of the Adrar and its breathtaking scenery.
