I got the pleasure to visit a very innovative Norwegian-based bike company that is currently building a Bike and Bag fully integrated system for Bikepacking. I’m not being paid or sponsored, I just think this is a very cool thing and something my subscribers would be interested in. I’m hoping to collaborate with them in the future. In the meantime, I’ll have another video out on Friday, and next week I hope to launch the trip further north to Bodø.

Loving that fjord green.
Wow
Roswheel British? AFAIK this is Chinese company now teamed with RockBros (another Chinese brand). Web wizard with non-1X drive, great to see range AND cadence still means something for some companies. Off-topic 🙂 4:08 what is the name of the music?
Wow, These bikes lok so awesome!
Love your videos! Very inspiring! Cheers from Southern California!!
I love your videos. I enjoyed this one so much I watched it twice.
I'm surprised that FARA didnt loan you a bike for a trial. Lovely looking bikes.
Fara and you, good for you Matthew! Love your humour, as usual. Can't wait to see your next bikepacking video. Take care.
Inspiring videos , all the best.
That looks like a sleek design & a reasonable weight. I had a DNB (manufactured in Sandnes), similar spec to a gravel bike, just not called a gravel bike. It was on the heavy side though – I think they were made out of steel from abandoned WW2 Panzer tanks.
Matthew, thank you for the great videos! Do you have a website with your routes and more info?
Lucky Bastard. 😉 No sincerely. Congrats!
They look pretty cool bikes and set-ups with decent prices too. Just to clarify one thing before I go.. my bike is bigger and more expensive than yours. JP. The Duke of Skipton.
FARAway Matthew 🙂 cool!!! you getting recognized… Does bikes are so Sick 🙂
Love those bikes and the content mate
Thanks for this great video Matthew. So fun how you present my friend Paul at the shop. He's a great guy and fun to go gravelbiking with.
The Fara variant for bike packing has got a maximum tire clearance of only 35mm. Isn't this a little bit narrow? Especially for long rides where I would appreciate more comfort with heavy load?
Hey Matthew. Been riding the F|Gravel 2019 for close to 2 years now, and am considering upgrading to the 2021 model. It looks amazing 🙂
Ask Tom Dumoulin if there's anything more embarrassing. He'll probably tell you, when it's your ass making that noise.
Just beautiful
Snow is awesome! Get out your xc skis. Great videos!
other than a fancy magnetic clip the bags are nothing special and will be up against apidura and ortilieb and Rosswell asia , as for the bikes they look generic frame resprays
Great video yet again. Congratulations, Matthew!
In winter ❄️ 🎿 ski is much better
Shit
