NAMIBIA
NAMIBIA — A New Partnership | RAID + ONGUZA | Gravel 2027
There are places that reach beyond beauty — that touch something deeper.
Namibia is one of them.
A land of vast silence and endless sky, where gravel roads cut through time itself and the light ignites the desert each evening. From the highlands of Windhoek, across the ancient Erongo Mountains, to the towering red dunes of Sossusvlei, this is a country that defies description — a place that strips things back to what’s real.
But what stays with you long after are the people — gracious, grounded, and kind beyond measure. There’s a quiet strength in how they live that leaves a mark far greater than the landscapes themselves.
Something extraordinary is coming.
Born in the desert — a partnership between RAID and Namibian Olympian and frame builder Dan Craven of ONGUZA Bicycles.
Brad and Dan’s connection goes back years — to the era when RAPHA CONDOR raced across Europe and RAPHA designed Dan’s Olympic kit. Now, that friendship evolves into something new: a journey that fuses world-class cycling craftsmanship with the untamed soul of Namibia.
This expedition will move through Windhoek’s rolling hills, Erongo’s granite spires, and the Namib Desert’s sweeping red sands, where wildlife roams freely and the horizon never ends. Think safari by bike, starlit desert camps, and endless gravel roads that carve their way through some of the oldest terrain on Earth.
Launching May 2027.
The details are still taking shape — but trust us, it will be something rare.
Something real.
Something only RAID + ONGUZA could create.

We fly into and out of Namibia’s capital, Windoek. Tune, test, and brief before the desert.
