The Rift now offers routes from 60 km to 330 km, giving every rider a way to experience the wild, volcanic highlands of Iceland. Whether you’re here for a fast taste of black sand gravel or a full ultra-endurance odyssey through the country’s raw interior, each course delivers its own mix of climbing, river crossings, lava fields, and vast open views.

From the compact Crack (60 km), to the rugged Crevasse (140 km), the iconic Rift (200 km), and the all-new ultra Abyss (330 km), every distance is built to showcase Iceland at its most powerful and otherworldly. Choose your challenge and meet the highlands on their terms.
