TRAIL HUNTER: SOUTH AFRICA
MATT HUNTER TRAVELS TO SOUTH AFRICA AND MEETS A TRAIL BUILDER WHO’S CARVED A MOUNTAIN
BIKE NETWORK TO RIVAL THE BEST TRAILS THE WORLD OVER. THIS EPISODE SERVES AS A REMINDER
OF WHAT A CONNECTION TO HOMELAND MEANS, AND HOW PEOPLE CAN EXPRESS IT, THROUGH THE
EYES OF LOCAL TRAIL BUILDER HYLTON TURVEY.
You hear them before you see them, their whistles, threading through the forest like wisps of pure stoke
smoke caught on a stiff South African breeze. One, two, three—they’re a single thread of riders pulled
through the forest as one. They let loose their whistles as they wheelie and swerve—flesh-and-blood kettles
whistling wildly on the crust of the earth.
Fanie and Hylly have always whistled when they ride, never really noticed just how much until Matt men-
tioned it, and now Matt’s doing it, too. Caught up in the moment, he surrenders to the flow state—that part
of him that says, “yes” and “more” and “again.”
The part of him that can’t help but whistle.

THE TRAIL WHISPERER
Hylton “Hylly” Turvey is a man of few words.
Conversations are punctuated by long pauses, and
he seems to put as much care into answering a
question as he does to building a trail. There’s quiet
contemplation of the situation at hand, followed by a
thoughtful response.
“I want to create this feeling of what I want to feel on
my bike,” he says, explaining his basic trail building
philosophy. It can be summed up in one word: Flow.
“I enjoy flow,” says Hylly, “So I imagine the mountain
and me riding down it on my bike—and that’s where
the trail will go.”
Matt Hunter’s no stranger to flow, of course, but
the trails Hylly and his brother-in-law, Fanie Kok,
share with him in Karkloof catch him off guard.
These trails, built by Hylly throughout the Karkloof
valley, were intended to be the appetizer on the
trip, set to whet the appetite for the main course of
Drakensburg. But something unexpected happened,
and it felt so organic that they switched their focus.
Sure, they’d still go ride Drakensburg, but it felt
natural for their experience on Hylly’s trails in
Karkloof to set the tone.
“I think the way he’s [Hylly] connected to the land
has allowed him to build a trail network through
a valley he was born in and loves,” says Matt. “He
really created something that wasn’t there before. I
don’t think many people do that—live in a place and
change it vastly for the better because they love it.”
It was a love born of necessity—a passion ignited by
the hills and valleys of his home.
“I didn’t really specifically set out to be a trail
builder,” says Hylly. “But growing up where I live in
Karkloof, […] we didn’t really have anything to ride,
so whatever we wanted to ride we had to create.” It
wasn’t an easy career trajectory for him either, but
he saw no other option for himself.
SISONKE
Like a high-pressure hose slashing wildly on a front
lawn, the trail twists and turns its way across the
face of a grassy hill. From a distance, it’s a single
dirt vein on the earth, alive and beating. We see
single word—the name of this trail—carved into a
weathered piece of wood and mounted to a stake.
Sisonke. It’s Fanie’s Xhosa name.
8

Hylly built this trail, teasing it from the earth’s
cradle like a splinter from a thumb. Using the hill’s
cloaked, natural contours and form, he scratched
respectfully at it with shovels and mattocks until it
was revealed to world.
“For me,” says Hylly, “It’s [about] not disturbing too
much of the land around you and working with what
is there, because ultimately, that gives you the best
trail. You can’t recreate that natural flow that the
mountain already has.”
The name, Sisonke—what does it mean?
“I sometimes think of the character of the trail,”
he says. “And somebody will come into my mind.
This trail, I was thinking of a name and then it just
popped into my mind and I knew straight away—it
had to be ‘cause it definitely describes Fanie.”
This trail describes Fanie? Wild and exuberant? A
bottomless pit of enthusiasm for the ride?
“My name,” says Fanie, explaining the Xhosa word,
“means ‘we are together.’ It’s like when you say
to somebody, ‘are you all right or are we good?’ It
basically means ‘OK, now everything’s fine, everything’s
cool, we’re on the same page.’ We are together.”
This moment, these guys, this trail—it all falls into place.
RELEASE
Dogs are not immune to it. With their bellies barely
clearing rollers as they leap and chase, Syd and
Miya (Hylly’s co-trail builders and pup companions),
telegraph their joy not with a whistle, but with a look.
Fanie will tell you that the quality of the whistle is
immaterial—it’s the release that counts. A simple
action with its own distinct voice. A voice that says: I
am here. I am with you. We are together.
They may have come to South Africa to ride Hylly’s
favorite trails, but what they found was connection.
Not just to the homeland where Hylly grew up, but
with each other. Does a trail exist without a rider?
Does a rider exist without a trail? These are “if a tree
falls in the woods” questions, sure, but if Matt wants
you to take anything from this experience, it’s this: No
matter how you look at it—a brotherhood a sisterhood,
a solidarity of stoke—every now and then we should
all step back and take a moment to recognize those
unsung heroes who stoke our stoke. Those whose
passion for digging at the dirt and create world-class
feast of flow—trail builders like Hylly.
Or to put it another way—when you’ve had great
meal, it’s nice to thank the chef.

AN ELEGANT REBELLION
The start line stared at Peter unflinchingly. It was as stoic as his face, like two
boxers before a match, both about to deliver a beating. The World Champion
thought to himself, “Has it really been a year since I played on the rocks?”
It was springtime, once again, and the hardest race of the season was on menu
for the day, Paris-Roubaix. The Hell of the North. Sure, a 260-kilometer,
one-day Classic is a tough feat, but at Paris-Roubaix, the 29 cobbled secteurs
are what separate the wheat from the chaff. Each ancient stone was
hand-placed and erupted from the tarmac below, warning racers of the
unwelcoming journey ahead.

Resigned to his fate, the start gun went off. Peter
was immediately swarmed with 250 of his closest
enemies. Bars were double-wrapped, fingers and
wrists taped, tensions set to high; all in the hopes
of winning THE monument.
The opening hour came fast and frantic, and after
the breakaway was established, the race settled into
a familiar moving symphony of snapping derailleurs
and howls of misfortune as crashes caused dreams
to lay crushed along the cobbled roadside. “Just ride
smooth, let the Future Shock do its thing. There’s
still 160km to go,” he told himself.
The cacophonous sounds of the race now engulfed
him like the waves of a far-off ocean; motorbikes
and team cars flew over the pavè with a clattering
roar, chains slapped against bikes like an army of
hammers beating an anvil, and tires explode with an
alarming regularity against this WWI battlefield. His
ride, however, was as smooth as could be expected.
And then silence.
“Not so bad,” he thought to himself as the smooth
tarmac rolled underneath him like a high-speed train
floating on its rails. He wiped his glasses to clear the
fine dust that had been obscuring his vision for the
past few kilometers, and then he took a deep breath.
“28 more to go.”
By the time he whizzed by the 150-kilometer
marker, the nervous air of the peloton could be
cut with a knife. In just 3.5 kilometers, they’d start
over the Haveluy secteur. It was the first of the
highest difficulty cobbles, and it led right into the
2.4-kilometer-long Trouée d’Arenberg; a section that
wouldn’t decide the victor but would certainly select
the losers.
CRASH! Two riders hit the cobbles hard. Their
wheels fell into bottomless holes between the
cobbles, tires slipping on the perfectly-polished
stones. Chaos filled the gaps in the group. “It’s ok.
The team will pull them back. Trust the guys and
don’t panic.”
A select group of favorites had formed, and they
were now making contact with the chase pack. There
were nine riders up the road, with a select group

chasing. The racers traded blow after blow for the next 50 kilometers, attacking
and chasing back just to attack again. And with 55 kilometers to go, a former
champion of the race hit the peloton like a heavyweight champion throwing his
final knockout blow.
“Somebody’s gotta chase,” Peter thought to himself. “Up! Up! Get that wheel!”
Peter’s teammate latched onto the back of the lone chaser. Head down, legs
searing as they chased back on. They got to the wheel. There was a momentary
lull in speed, and he thought, “I have to go now. Trust yourself. You’re going to
win this.”
“BLOCK!” Peter was now yelling at his teammates as he swung into the
righthand gutter. “Go! Now!” he screamed as he strategized in his head,
“They’re going to chase, but Greg’s tired…no one is going to work together.”
The kilometers were ticking by moment to moment. The crowds screamed
at the top of their lungs for their World Champion.
“ALLEZ! ALLEZ! ALLEZ!”
Nearly 10 kilometers went by like this, and Sagan had put 45 seconds on all of
his rivals. “There are the leaders,” he assured himself, “One more dig and you
can rest.”
Peter’s legs screamed in dire agony, but he could taste victory. Not even his
acid-filled legs could slow him down now. When he arrived at the lead group with
45 kilometers to go, the other two riders were willing to work with him.
“Eight more secteurs and this thing is over.” He kept repeating this to himself
like a mantra. The other two riders were ridden to tatters, and over the next
secteurs, their hands began to slip and their power waned. They were tiring
rapidly, but this was the freshest Peter had ever felt this far into the race. His
Roubaix was eating up the cobbles, Future Shock piston firing and smoothing the
road as he poured himself into the pedals.
They entered another cobbled section, and Peter started a leg-searing pace.
Pretty soon, one rider was gone, and the full symphony of chaos was whittled
down to a mere duet. They traded equal work all the way to the infamous
Roubaix velodrome.
Peter’s mind was racing, “The sprint’s in me but my legs are cramping. Dillier
was a track rider. Wait. Wait for the moment and then explode.” There were 225
meters to go and Peter jumped. His last blow, all of his might, he put his head
down and went. The sounds of the stadium were drowned away and all he could
hear was the silence of his pain. He was at one with his machine, and together,
they coasted through the line. Arms aloft now; he’d done it. Peter and his
Roubaix had won the Hell of the North. They could now rest.

A TURBO LEVO LOVE STORY
I was 35 when my son was born; not an early age
for fatherhood, but certainly early to have been on
crutches for four months and to be looking a total
knee replacement square in the face. Back then,
time was a commodity that I could rarely afford,
like it was that $7 pint of ice cream you know you’d
rather have, but even when the money’s in your
pocket, can never muster the courage to buy. And
four months in to parenthood, I was trying not
to drown in a violent sea of new responsibilities,
embracing the delirium born from sleepless night
after sleepless night, while that fake knee was callin’
like a relentless debt collector. On the surface,
HOW AN E-BIKE SAVED ME
PHOTOS : DYLAN GORDON
PHOTOS:DYLANGORDON
I was prepared to unblock its number and settle
up on my dead bone account, but the reality of
balancing intensive physical therapy with fatherhood,
husbandry, and a job that felt more Sisyphus than
Don Draper left little room in the margins for free
time. The surgery went ahead anyways, and the
struggles began rolling to shore like a terrible storm
surge brought on by unrelenting pain. Hope, in this
analogy, was not a lighthouse; it was a drunk captain
who made the grave decision to go down with the
ship. And as I feared my fate was resigned to the
murky depths with him, a Turbo Levo arrived on my
doorstep one frosty February day.
2524

At this point in the story, I’d been off the bike for
nearly two years and was just over six months post-
op with a new, tired knee. I’d been lacking the sense
of normalcy that riding had previously brought to my
life; the meditative practice, the release valve my
brain’s steam engine had been missing. The rising
internal pressure had converted me from the role
of pessimist on a good day to that of miserable SOB
#1 in this play of mortal existence. Working in the
bike industry, surrounded by these seeming relics of
a past life, and not a one I could ride. Imagine that;
water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. It
made a long chapter in my life appear as if it were a
fleeting apparition that only showed its form before
me alone, and I’d transferred the frustration it bore
upon its shoulders to those least deserving in my
orbit. If the measured approach to day-to-day life
were to be a bolt of cloth, mine was to be one torn
to ribbons. Darkness. It emitted sounds like wild,
freeform jazz with no purpose or discernable time
signature. It had me staring long and hard into the
darkness of the abyss, lying to myself that it was
even before me, while whole parts of my identity
were being torn away, spiraling down into its
promised despair.
Depression. It put my brain into a frenzied craze of
ever-firing synapses that spilled out into the real
world like the chaotic mess of unfinished thoughts
in the paragraphs before this. But seeing my life
preserver on that day, I didn’t just open the box. I
set my claws to it like a rabid wolverine, breath still
visible and hanging in the dusk’s frigid air. I conjured
my mechanic’s muscle memory like a psychic
medium pulling off the hustle of a lifetime. And
as quickly as it started, my Turbo was a complete,
rideable bike.

T H E S M O O T H E S T, Q U I E T E S T, A N D M O S T
P O W E R F U L M O T O R I N I T S C L A S S
I set out to the trail immediately, unsure if my knee
could even turn a full revolution with the pedals. And
as those fresh tires hit the dirt, Nirvana. Nirvana
like I’d found the great equilibrium of the middle
path. Nirvana like the first time I heard “Smells like
Teen Spirit” in the sixth grade. Instant peace befell
me, and pain be damned, I was hitting berms on the
uphill like my name was Loïc. Five minutes in, and I
felt whole again. I felt human. I felt like—myself.
There have been many rides since then, but where
half of me was missing, the Turbo Levo added a
portion back. And now, over a year-and-a-half post-
op, I know that my body still isn’t capable of the
riding normalcy that this bike affords me. It makes
me grateful for the technological age we live in. It
makes me want to hug every engineer that stayed up
late, worked a weekend, and devoted themselves so
completely into making something I never thought I’d
be asking for.
It’s made my PT my hobby, and it’s returned a sense
of that human being I’d left waiting on an operating
table all those years ago. That person I’d said
goodbye to, who I never thought I’d meet again, well,
I’m more of him today than I thought I could ever
again be. Thank you, Turbo. You gave me the power
to ride trails.

There’s no arguing that the Diverge is
one of our most versatile bikes. Throw
some 42mm tires on and you get a rig
that’s perfect for fire roads and tough
races like Dirty Kanza. Want to hop on a
road ride? Just throw on some 32s and
you’re in for a fast, comfortable ride.
Pushing the absolute limit on some
singletrack or maybe even bikepacking?
Easy. You see what we’re getting at? With
a little imagination, the Diverge can be
configured for almost any style of riding.
Let’s find out how.
THE SHREDDER, THE RACER
AND THE ADVENTURER
WHO ARE YOU? FOR THE SHREDDER
If you’re the type that likes to ride trail on
“skinny” tires, you’ve probably heard the
inevitable, “Why don’t you just ride a mountain
bike?” Answer: Because there’s something
riveting about taking a bike down trails that
nobody ever thought possible. Maybe it’s
massaging your riding ability’s ego a bit, but
we think it’s just downright fun.
Eventually, though, you “run out of bike” the
more gnarly the trails get. When you’re flying
off a jump with two feet of seatpost under you,
a dropper post starts to sound pretty cool.
So, with the “Rowdy Diverge” editions, that’s
exactly what we added.
We took a Women’s Diverge Expert, added
S-Works flat handlebars, Roval Control SL
wheels paired with 42mm Pathfinder tires, a
full SRAM XX1 Eagle one-by groupset, and a
50-millimeter dropper post. Problem solved.
No more high-posting, plenty of control both
up and down the trail, and most importantly,
it’s a stupid amount of fun to ride.
The second Rowdy Diverge keeps its drop bar
roots, but it adds some serious flare. It starts
with a Diverge Expert and then adds 44cm
drop bars that flare to over 50cm at the drops,
the same Roval Control SL wheels paired with
42mm Pathfinder tires, and a 100-millimeter
dropper post. With the saddle out of the way,
and the wide drops, this “Rowdy Diverge”
handles just about anything you can throw
at it, all while keeping its ability to fit in on a
road ride.

FOR THE RACER
For those that count their watts like a stock
ticker, we’ve built the “Race Diverge.” Sure, in
its stock build, the Diverge is plenty fast for
race day. But if you’re the type that obsesses
over the little things to eke out every
advantage you can, we’ve built the gravel bike
of your dreams.
It begins with an S-Works Diverge frameset
that’s been dressed with the spec of your
dreams: SRAM RED AXS shifters paired with
a 12-speed XX1 Eagle cassette, chain, and an
XX1 Eagle AXS rear derailleur. Then we added
S-Works Aerofly handlebars and Roval CLX 50
wheels to provide an aero advantage, all while
keeping things super lightweight. And for the
long-distance racer, we even added touches
like a CG-R seatpost to ensure comfort for
big, epic races like Dirty Kanza.
Next up, we built a pure speed machine with a
mix of Dura-Ace and XTR components, Roval
CLX 64 wheels, our Aerofly handlebars, and
fast-rolling tires. This Diverge means super
serious business. 35

SPECIALIZED.COM/DIVERGE
DIVERGE
When the road less traveled is still too crowded,
there’s the Diverge. It’s purpose-built for long, all-
day rides over rough roads, and to make sure of it,
we designed it with an endurance-focused geometry,
Future Shock suspension, and ample clearance for
big tires. With the Diverge, your rides are only limited
by your imagination.
S H O C K I N G LY F A S T. S E R I O U S LY F U N .
FOR THE ADVENTURER
Adventure riding is all the rage these days
and for good reason. Not only is it good
for the mind and body, but it’s completely
focused on having fun. And whether you’re
getting out, or lost, in nature, these rides
clear your mind and hit the reset button
like nothing else. So, with the adventurer
in mind, we built two Diverges that’ll
satisfy your wanderlust.
The first configuration starts with a
Women’s Diverge frame. We put on a
pair of Aerofly handlebars to save some
precious watts over the course of a long
day and Roval C38 carbon wheels that
are paired with 38mm Sawtooth tires.
This keeps both the weight and rolling
resistance low, while a SRAM RED 22 WiFli
drivetrain provides a range with plenty
of high gears for fast road sections and
plenty of low gears for the last dirt climb
of the day before you reach camp. Of
course, we added a variety of bags to fit
anything one might need out on the road,
as well as plenty of lights. Any adventure
worth having usually starts or ends in
darkness, after all.
The second “Adventure Diverge” takes the
long-distance setup to the extreme. We
configured a Diverge Pro frame and gave it
flat-top handlebars with clip-on aerobars
to keep you as aero and comfortable as
possible on high-mileage days. Next up,
we spec’d a one-by Shimano Dura-Ace/
XTR Di2 drivetrain for a tall range of
gears, while also limiting maintenance.
For the wheels, we’ve opted for Roval CLX
32s paired with Sawtooth tires to, again,
keep weight and rolling resistance low.
And lastly, this Diverge features the same
bag and lighting options as the adventure
version above, so there’s plenty of room
for overpreparing.
So, there you have it. By just swapping a
few parts, you can easily turn a Diverge
from the gravel race bike of your dreams
to one that’s ready to rip your favorite
trails. It’s a bike designed for any
adventure, and it’s ready to be built for
whatever style you ride.

PATHFINDER SAWTOOTH TRACER
When your ride is full of adventure, but
you need to tack on some road miles
to get there, the Pathfinder is the
perfect choice. The slick center tread
rolls exceptionally fast on the road,
while the transitional tread behaves
predictably on the road. There’s
still tons of grip for gravel, though,
because the side knobs hook-up when
conditions get loose and rowdy.

If your adventures see more mileage
on the road than the dirt, the Sawtooth
could be your winning ticket. On the
road, they roll fast and smooth with
a nice center-tread. Take them off-
road, though, and they bite hard in the
corners and hook-up fast with their
chevron-style tread, sharp angles, and
grippy edges.

If you’ve ever been asked how you did a
certain ride with dropbars, our Tracer
tires are right up your alley. They
have our award-winning GRIPTON®
compound and a tread design that
holds steady over loose gravel, dirt,
and even singletrack nuisances like
rocks and roots. But when it’s time for
the road, they still roll fast enough to
keep up with the pack.

SIRRUS X
This isn’t your “normal” fitness bike. It takes Sirrus’
DNA and tailors it for more rugged use. Bigger tire
clearance, a smooth one-by drivetrain, plenty of
mounts for racks and fenders—it’s a solid bike for
wherever your rides take you.
