Ziptrak Returns to Santos Tour Down Under 2026 as Official Sponsor!
Ziptrak Celebrating the Seventh Year as a Sponsor
Ziptrak returns to the Santos Tour Down Under 2026, marking our seventh consecutive year as a major sponsor. This long-term involvement in the Ziptrak Tour Down Under 2026 highlights our commitment to South Australia’s biggest summer event and celebrates the spirit of community, sport and outdoor living.


Ziptrak is Proudly South Australian and Locally Made
As a proud South Australian–owned company, with products designed, engineered and manufactured right here at home, supporting the Santos Tour Down Under holds special meaning for us. This event shines a global spotlight on South Australia’s landscapes, culture and local businesses, and we’re grateful to play a role in that story. We also continue as the event’s Official Shade Sponsor, helping spectators stay cool and comfortable while they cheer on the world’s best cyclists in the peak of the Australian summer.


Fresh Experiences for 2026
For 2026, we’re bringing fresh excitement to the Tour with new Ziptrak® merchandise, race-day giveaways and fan-favourite activities along the parade route. The popular Ziptrak® Racer bike game also returns to the Tour Village, this time with a new twist that elevates the competition and creates an even more engaging experience for visitors.


Cycling at the Heart of Our Team
Cycling has always been a meaningful part of Ziptrak®. Our Managing Director, Marc de Maaijer, our Founder, Tony de Maaijer, and many of our team members are passionate riders themselves, embracing both the challenge and the joy of the sport. We’re also proud supporters of the Butterfields-Ziptrak® Cycling Team, whose commitment and determination reflect the values we hold as a brand.


Being part of the Santos Tour Down Under 2026 allows us to celebrate the South Australian community while contributing to an event that inspires people around the world. We look forward to welcoming spectators back for another year of world-class racing, summer festivities and unforgettable moments.
