The QUEST Episode 4 - Mission to Gelas with FBM

We gave Chris Akrigg our all new adventure bike, the 2018 Guide, to take out for a spin and this is what he said; “This is the most fun I've had on a bike for ages! It's super quick on roads and gravel but strong enough to take on some pretty serious lines, plus it has somewhere to put your beers! Cheers.” Watch this with headphones on!

I've always loved the concept of videos. As a kid I vividly remember watching videos and getting psyched to go out and try something I wasn't yet able to do. Either on a bike, with a snowboard, or something silly with your friends. To poteentially create something that holds that same power to inspire others is a gift.
