Kevin Benky
Meet Kevin Benky - a man whose life has been defined by the rhythm of two wheels and the endless pursuit of endurance. For over 25 years, Kevin has lived and breathed cycling, a passion that has transformed into both his profession and his play. Whether he’s working within the bike industry or spending long hours in the saddle, Kevin finds purpose and joy in every ride.
A specialist in ultra-distance and multi-day non-stop events, Kevin is no stranger to pushing the limits. If it’s over 500km or lasts more than 24 hours, he’s likely already planning his strategy. Gravel races? He’s there too.
One of his proudest career moments?
His recent high point came at the Atlas Mountain Race in February - a grueling 1 300km self-supported bike-packing event across Morocco's rugged terrain, featuring 21 000+ metres of elevation gain through the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains. This career-defining moment saw years of hard work culminate in an international podium finish.
Despite a recent injury at the Cape Epic Race Village, which put 2025 plans on hold, Kevin remains grounded and optimistic. He’s already thinking ahead to his next ultra once recovery allows - fuelled by determination and of course, Cadence Nutrition.
When it comes to training, Kevin thrives on multi-day rides through the KZN Midlands, often clocking 6+ hour days back-to-back. He enjoys making up the routes as he rides, a form of intuitive training that sharpens both body and mind.
Kevin’s Favourite Cadence Product?
“Berry Bars, I have eaten a million now I think.”
As an ambassador, Kevin embodies what Cadence is all about: endurance, resilience and passion backed by science.
For fellow athletes, Kevin’s story is a reminder that performance is not just about watts and heart rate. It’s about the heart. It’s about grit. It’s about believing you’re good enough - and then proving it, again and again.
Keep an eye on Kev – his journey is an inspiration and every ride he completes will likely leave your jaw on the ground! We are proud to fill Kevin’s bottles and pockets this year as he tackles new challenges.
