A road bike for the dirt, on a car for the dirt

Sweet vid, transferring road performance right into the dirt!

Just what we need on nice, quiet roads.

No thanks.

The car is awesome until you realize there's no place to actually drive it full gas.

No less "look at me" factor than driving around in a jacked up F-350 rolling coal.

It's a marketing video that is meant to get you pumped and want the product. I'd say it does a decent job.

Buy yeah, to Eric's point. It would suck if you were actually cycling on those roads and this jackass raced by you.

IME there's always that *one guy* going too fast for conditions on dirt roads.

Wanna hang the rear out and 'race?' Go rallying. :nod: Don't do it in public.

The car is suuuper cool (cooler than the bike I might add) but driving it enthusiastically with the bike (any bike) strapped to the roof strikes me as beyond stupid.

Ummm I think we are missing the point that this is a closed course Marketing video. I mean I was just waiting for a low limb that would have ripped that bike right off the car.

Cool video never the less.
