SAG Support

On our domestic tours, our specially designed ’Mercedes Sprinter van is always close at hand, providing seamless transportation for your luggage and bike cases. Exclusive to these trips, the Sprinter can carry up to 12 bicycles when needed. It’s more than just a vehicle — it’s your rolling support hub. Need a roadside espresso, a hydration top-up, a hand-made rice cake, or a Clif Bar? We’ve got you covered. Facing a challenging climb and need a lift? Hop in, and we’ll chauffeur you to the summit in comfort.

In Japan, we rely on Toyota HiAce vans outfitted with external bike racks and customized K-Vans, perfectly suited for the country’s roads and our riding style. These versatile vehicles keep your bikes secure, luggage organized, and support close by throughout the day.

Every RAID support vehicle is equipped with professional-grade tools and staffed by skilled mechanics ready to provide on-the-go bike tuning. We carry a full stock of tires, tubes, CO₂ cartridges, and track pumps so you’re never far from assistance.

At the end of each ride, the RAID recovery lounge awaits you at the hotel, complete with recovery shakes, light bites, and a refreshing local cold beer. We’ll also have personal massage guns available for your shared use, helping to ease post-ride muscle fatigue and keep you feeling fresh for the next day’s adventure.
