AN EAST ASIAN ADVENTURE

A travel experience with Pas Normal Studios



Some of the least obvious places in the world offer some of the most amazing experiences on the bike. Taiwan has consistently blown our minds every time we have visited this lush, beautiful island off the Southern coast of mainland China. Here, you will find the roads and the climbs you would never imagine riding.

Pas Normal Studios have spent the last years getting familiar with all the possibilities it has to offer, and we have put it together in a true adventure, culminating with the towering challenge that is the Taiwan KOM.

This challenge is second to none in the world of cycling when it comes to climbing, and we have reserved some very exclusive entries for a select group. Before we take on this monster, we will enjoy all the stunning varieties of riding the island has to offer from north to south with plenty of time to genuinely explore.

We look forward to taking you on a very special and tailored trip to some unbelievable riding.
