INTO THE DARK

Mates riding bikes together, having a laugh and adventure in some beautiful scenery. You pretty much ticked all the boxes there 😁🚴🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️✔️✔️✔️

[@adammackenzie]

YUP ! ride safe...

[@profibeere391]

wunderbar...und die richtige Entscheidung zum Schluß! Tolle Fotos

[@qwertzuiop990]

Was für ein toller Trip und was für nice Drohnen Aufnahmen 👌

[@stuartclarke1090]

Amazing adventure, can't wait to get my Atlas and start exploring... Great vid guys

[@gonzalomartinez2317]

Gran video , gracias

[@ReNcEsTaR]

Looks like the perfect trip, not just the ride but the ethos behind too. “We’re heading somewhere there and we’ll get there at some point heading somewhere in that direction”. I feel that’s all the planning that’s needed - beautiful!!

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

Stunning place! Makes me wonder tho how much our overreliance on GPS stops us having real adventures....all roads lead somewhere, even the wrong ones...

[@andybird6102]

Nice video, in excellent English of course. Lycra is like a beer gut, we all have one but it’s best kept under cover 😀

[@woongtv-naturehealing273]

It's a fantastic bicycle trip video. I'm honored to be your best channel friend. Have a nice Thursday. 👍👍🤙🤙🤙👌💯

[@crlarner]

Incredible video. I have always wanted to visit the Black Forest; you guys I have given me inspiration to do so. Look forward to your other journeys.

[@ridesantacruzbikes]

"I want to ride fast and I want to take a shit before we leave." That was gold. Great production, all.

[@helmiwijaya7]

true, good video

[@luciabottenfield7727]

Beautiful journey, in a beautiful place.

[@andreal1647]

My home area Schwarzwald ❤️ Amazing for cycling and hiking.

[@TonyRamos68]

Amazing trip guys 🚴🏾🚴🏾🚴🏾🚴🏾.. Beautiful.. 👍.. Thumbs up for the beautiful picture and 📹.... As always on your vlogs Martijn.

[@bosanderspublictheology]

This was a fantastic watch. Thank you. Great footage and wonderful editing.

[@Whafe]

The joy of the olden days of no GPS, loved the film, as always. May we all take this medicine off heading off without all the numbers, stats and GPS once in a while at least

[@YoureNottheonlyonehere]

Habe mir gestern das Thron2 6.9 bestellt. Hab sehr viel gutes darüber gelesen und gesehen und freue mich sehr darauf wenn es endlich da ist. Macht weiter so Leute absolut Top.

[@BryanSarauer]

Wow, just incredible roads and scenery! I'm envious (but maybe not so much of the steep hills).

[@pj8202]

Hello from France ! Great vidéo 👍

[@braingainz6407]

Funny to watch as a local. Saw some roads in the video which are part of my rides. Great Video!

[@Alex-bh4um]

You guys always drive inspiration to pedal. Spot on production for that exciting new Focus machine.

[@sashapedrielli803]

awesome video! this summer im going to do the same trip but from italy, it's should be more than 1,000 km..i think it will be a great journey..

[@betasunardi]

So beautiful 👍👍👍

[@CS_247]

Remind me of the mountain bikes we had in the late 80's. No suspension, road geometry, 2.1" tires, "bullhorn" bars. And gravel roads and fire trails. Simpler times... Looks like so much fun, guys!

[@shanew634]

An excellent well produced video, really enjoyed it and the Focus Atlas looks really smart. Danke 👏👏👏

[@TimFitzwater]

Beautiful.

[@deantrice3232]

Amazing journey...a new addition to my bucket list ❤

[@bikenbeers]

Epic ride. Well put together film. A joy to watch and dream..

[@m1les7]

Fantastic adventure, amazing without a plan or gps 👌👌💪🏁🏁

[@donaldpang]

so cinemtic and wonderfully made biking adventure film.

[@frankhopstaken7191]

Great video... i like the idea .. this bike is meant to lose. Great production well done..

[@marcelofrings2942]

Nice!! More of these, please!

[@jobje325]

Love the way the film was created, made me want to buy a gravel bike myself and go to our eastern neighbors to get in some schwarzwald miles

[@cerrol85]

Schwarzwald is such amazing area, want to ride more there

[@secretdaisy6484]

That was great. I didn't think I could get interested in gravel biking but you guys made it look intriguing. 👍☮️🌞🚲🚵‍♀️

[@raymott6933]

Totally loved this video. Really inspirational.

[@grintalcycles8266]

That looked like fun. I need a couple more adventurous friends to do something like that.

[@kssrider6766]

You just need one. For me, I wouldn’t mind going it alone.

[@mmau]

Cool idea, nice bike, great video. But when Martijn does this thing with his boys in the Netherlands it's a lot more fun to watch.

[@andryparmana]

Nice video, good view

[@patricklaprell8935]

Bravo! ❤️❤️❤️

[@paulsanchez4141]

Excellent keep them coming

[@FlorianJunk]

Wonderful video, to good to be promotion. But I need that flask and a strap for my bike to attach it.

[@simpleguyy11]

Supporter here in the Philippines Love your content! This is a very relaxing film that made me love gravel riding and bike packing even more. Keep it up 🤙

[@alessandrobottazzo6143]

congratulations to Focus, always make great videos. come back soon to make them in Italy 😉

[@Zeraryy]

love this video a lot, didn't even realize its somehow an add

[@meinarddura2001]

amazing film! kudos

[@danielgill3453]

Great video guys, thanks for sharing! :) Just got myself a focus atlas, was looking for tips on bags, you guys seam to have tested them all. Which are the favorite bike bags for a trip like this?

[@richardburrows8044]

Stunning film, cannot wait for my NC500 adventure later in the year and hopefully Europe next. Thank you for brightening up my day following a rainy wet cycling commute this morning :))

[@FOCUSbikes]

Hi Richard! Glad we could cheer you up :)

[@richardburrows8044]

You will be pleased to hear my work bike and training bikes are Focus :)

[@FOCUSbikes]

Hi Richard! Yes, we are, indeed :)

[@tanuchandra8699]

Love it 👍👍👍👍

[@SebastianCeronLuna]

great adventure!

[@ibloodyloveridingmybike]

Loved this, great video guys. You’ve given me some inspiration for late summer / early Autumn!

[@derFeind]

very much very beautiful!

[@thomassudkamp]

6 min in and loving it guys. Did you only use a map? Pre-GPS times I used to ride across France on a compass which worked very nice

[@SchwarzwaldTourist]

Great!

[@hinayousofzai7025]

I love this music🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩😮

[@andrerichard628]

A big take away is that they only went out for a few days! I work six days a week for now but my day off is always an adventure. You don't need a month. Me and my girlfriend sit on our day off and say which direction today north south or east? We live in California so can't go further west.

[@rg31404]

awesome!

[@arcoulant87]

Chapeau

[@BoxCarBoy12]

The irony of not using a GPS track and the riders having "MA AP" on their jerseys haha. Great film either way!

[@quepasatony123]

Sehr schön 👍

[@jordanglick]

Loved it!

[@quietri0t]

Wonderful adventure I should dare trying, too. I guess my Focus Paralane 8.9 2020 won't survive these roads 🙈.

[@nils_on_wheels]

Haha nice jungs! Packt mal die gpx daten hier rein 😅

[@mattkrivosudsky9057]

Chapeau!

[@PaniniPie-q8h]

best bike video i've seen to date. so so jealous. what and epic country (ies) to ride in.

[@TheCitadel-716]

beware of the dark. Those who do not know how to traverse it will be lost to it. Never underestimate the dark but never be afraid of it. and never under any circumstances stop moving.

[@bartekrejter8831]

Amazing :)

[@s44Strike]

I am perfectly able getting lost while using a GPS.

[@thomasalberio1911]

What-A-Ride! So Amazing!

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

Love Focus Bikes. I own a Focus Cayo Road. Love to buy an Izalco Max frameset. Questions: 1. How does the Atlas differ from Mares? 2. What tire width and pressures did you use and tire brand and model on this ride? Chapeau. Peach Schnapps - Danke!

[@smoniotte]

Great trip! Do you have a gpx file of your trip available somewhere ? Thanks !

[@zenodalpiaz6598]

I love the vibe of being lost, but just having fun no matter what happens 😎

[@ATIL1304]

Likewise my friend...

[@eivissastef]

you mean the showriding vibe?

[@davidbianic4350]

Glad you didn't kill each other, blaming for the wrong routes! Great concept though. Kudos

[@bernardrondin1348]

Nice and epic ride!! What model of tyres and gears you use?

[@FOCUSbikes]

HI Bernd, they have been riding the stock bikes, with a WTB Riddler, 700 x 45C, folding and a transmission with 46/30tooth in the front and 11-34 in the back. All the details of the FOCUS Atlase 6.8: www.focus-bikes.com/int/1030117-atlas-6-8?color_combo=97272

[@EduardoLopez-zt7op]

Well done! The video and the adventure. Question: what sense does it make to bring your cup outside the saddle bag? I expect it to be dirty when arriving at camping site....

[@eivissastef]

hipsters, clean gear, clean bike, clean clothing, show riding. ""getting lost and eventually finding yourself"" .. the usual blaaaaaaa

[@FOCUSbikes]

Space. No reason to protect it from the dirt. Therefore you can use the space of the bags for the very important stuff.....

[@eivissastef]

​@@FOCUSbikes beginner! the cup can be transported inside any bag, it just has to be properly packed, for example tools fit in the cup, or a spare inner tube.

[@mattmacpherson1033]

Half the fun is getting lost. Now you know a new route to get there. The whole purpose is to get lost on the gravel roads. Beautiful video. Thanks Mama. Are you running 1x or 2x drivetrains?

[@FOCUSbikes]

Hi Matt! The boys have ridden 2x drivetrains here.

[@SaschaN]

If you want a more guided tour, there is a orbit 360 route from Stuttgart to the outer parts of the black forest and back. They had some very spectacular downhill sections but also many beautiful point of interests. Was one of the most epic (2 day) rides with some friends. But beware: In Baden Württemberg it is forbidden to drive small trails in the forests because of nature protection.

[@bambangsuseno8764]

Congrats Mas Bros. When can you spend your time to pedal your bike to The Special Territory of Yogyakarta, Indonesia? There you can find single tracks and gravel roads in the middle of Snakeskin fruit plantations on the Southern slope of Mt. Merapi. Besides, you can sometimes notice hot lava and pyroclastic clouds spewed up from its crater on top of it. . . . .
