The Ultimate One Day Adventure | EMTB Around Fort William

E-Bike exploration is so much more than just tough adventures! Unlike Steve and his toughest adventure yet, Chris thought he would take things a little more relaxed, soak up the sun on the beach (and dip his toes in the water!), stop for tea and scones, watch the famous Harry Potter train pass on the Glenfinnan Viaduct and finish his day off with some traditional fish and chips!

What type of riding are you into? Big tough epic rides or more relaxed days taking in the scenery? Let us know 👇

[@sionjones1675]

both! Absolutely beasting it one day, bagging some mountain summits, and then cruising to work and taking it easy the next day

[@embn]

@@sionjones1675 Sounds like the perfect combo Sion!

[@Ruffest]

Got to have a bit of death in a ride

[@andrewgent5675]

Glad to see that bike theft isn't an issue in Fort William.

LOL :-)

[@fuckinellitsraymo]

That was in Mallaig not Fort William.

[@chillout1109]

If you are riding all by yourself, you must never leave your expensive eMTB outside the shop like that, even with a lock on it. But in this video, Chris obviously had a support crew with him who were watching the bike while he was inside the chip shop.

[@andrewgent5675]

@@chillout1109 So perhaps instead of investing in expensive locks, we should consider hiring a camera crew to take care of bike security.

[@chillout1109]

@@andrewgent5675 😂😂 Precisely. It's much cheaper and more convenient though just to ride with a friend so you can take turns watching the bikes while one of you goes into the shops etc. Or you could just stop in places where there are catering trailers, like I do, where you simply buy your food with your bike right next to you.

[@19bootsy68]

The Cube suspension bikes are sure good looking bikes and price wise... fantastic!.

[@benwilson4711]

Definitely

[@protarget1]

When doing these BRILL vids, I wish you would show some difficult bits. Unless the footpath from the carpark at the end of Glen Nevis to the Steal waterfall has been radially improved. It can be difficult for the average walkers, never mind getting a bike up there. There was a big warning sign for walkers, that starts with the words " Danger of Death"

[@givreycham]

Somehow I think Steve pulled the short straw on that one !...It would be great if Bosch did an adapter to use the Nyon in the Kiox mount. It seems a bit vulnerable and probably unnessary for a lot of trail riding but great for unknown days out.

[@MaxAttax]

I just got my Cube Ebike ordaed in match arrived July just the hardtail as only one can afford amazing bike all ready done 280 miles

[@stephenbrown5844]

Fantastic thanks for the footage my friend 😁👍

super my favourite ebike is in EMTB thanks..iam cube fans

[@stephenbrown5844]

Love Scotland, fantastic footage guys,,,, 😁👍

[@davidmstephenson69]

Don't know about anyone else but I start a big ride by rolling a big fat one. Big toot before a big ride.

[@fuckinellitsraymo]

Your Bosch display found you the worst chippy in and around Fort Bill. 😂

[@EdWilsonPhoto]

well done

[@TimZ750]

Riding an ebike on the beach, defo not your own money in it then 😂

[@embn]

Chris is thorough with his bikes and always makes sure to fully clean, protect and lube after a big ride like this. In this case, we would also have our mechanic give it a good going over. We wouldn't really recommend you go do that, and certainly don't do it if you're going to just chuck the bike in the shed as some people do!

[@TimZ750]

@@embn I need a mechanic! Mine would almost definetly be chucked in the garage for next time :)

[@ashpunting]

Brilliant I Really enjoyed the show today my friends 😀 💙👍🏾

Thank, Rory!

[@stephenbrown5844]

All kind of riding is me😁👍🇬🇧👌💕

[@peatfitzpatrick4998]

Q: Which is the best EMTB to take on a beach? A: Someone else's

[@protarget1]

I think that's what Fat Bike's were designed for ? mainly Beaches & Snow ;-)

[@dwrowley]

I was thinking the same thing, sand in the chain, would need a clean after

[@emanuel_antohe]

It's a new Cube Stereo model? As far as last year, i remember seeing only 160 front fork fox, at Max. You mentioned 170mm in the clip, that's why i am asking. Thank's, thumbs up for the adventure!!

[@TheKlein5854]

Stereo 160 refers to rear travel. All 2021 160's have 170mm fork.

[@scottbartlettphotography]

Great video As usual, quick question do Shimano have a display like this or any 3rd party that uses the same functions ?

[@webster169]

That’s my idea of a holiday ride.

[@miket1954]

At 0:08 you've reversed the Lat-Long. As currently stated Fort William would be south of the equator :-)

[@DaveWorld]

I'd be careful with that gondola my levo nearly fell off!

[@stephenbrown5844]

Got the same bike 👌😁

[@Extremegaz25]

Looks great there geezer, don't think I could actually leave the bike any where thou.

Missing out the part where the bike gets stolen for leaving it outside the Tea place ;)

[@craigweightman799]

What a great day out. How many miles did you do that day?

[@joggerke5295]

Hi Chris, if you had to choose between the levo comp or the cube stereo which one would you take? And why??

[@sevvy07]

Great videos, thanks lads. Got my 160 AT hpc a few months ago and absolutely love it. Brilliant on the tracks, thinking off changing it to a mullet as I do a good chunk of road miles to get there for a session.

[@kyled121]

Great vid and some cool editing. Great music as well. However, the scenery stole the show!

[@embn]

🙌 Awesome to hear you liked the video Kyle!

[@bladerr900]

I live in Sydney Australia and because we are in lockdown my trips are local exploring but when/if this lockdown ends.......

[@newbeginnings8566]

Fort William most certainly does not have white sandy beaches... It does have rocky, pebbled shore lines of Loch Lihnne... You certainly wouldn't want to spend time there... You have to travel quite a distance West (nowhere near Fort William) to Arisaig and Morar where you will find white sandy beaches.. Next he definitely used transport to get between these locations.. Best concentrate on one area for one day and the Fort William area on another day. The path up to Steall Glen is most definitely not suited to MTB - firstly it is very narrow and rocky in places and secondly there are too many walkers so you just can't cycle. Also take midge repellent if you plan to do any forest area between Late May-Early October

[@stevekelleher8900]

another great vid,look foward and am waiting for new ones whenever ye can do em,new ebike arrived today,im all in.

[@R.I.C.H.Y]

I'd be a bit worried on the trails with that screen sticking out front I just have basic screen and garmin so don't know if it would be worth upgrading display

[@davidmstephenson69]

Yep screen looked quite shit.

[@tomquimby8669]

does the Bosch sat nav work on other makes of emtbs ?

Noooo! Not the sand 😐

[@andyclarke2969]

That beach looked beautiful that is until a hooligan arrived on an E bike.

[@lucienbenoitlacombe1073]

Hello, during this type of trip, how was the relationship between hikers, tourists and you as a biker ? same places for both... it's seem due to increasing ebike rides to be strained relationships :O((

[@protarget1]

You do know that PROW are different in Scotland?? On open land, you have the right to roam, But you must do it with Responsibility. If you don't then you have no right of access. It's giving way to walkers and horse riders. And be prepared to stop.

[@lucienbenoitlacombe1073]

@@protarget1 Well, i don't know the signification of PROW (priority of walker ?). Any way I'me an Ebike biker since 5 years, actually I feel some changes in relationship between others users due certainly to the encreasing number of bikers. Sorry for mistakes and misunstanding, English is not my language...

[@protarget1]

@@lucienbenoitlacombe1073 Sorry about not being clear. PROW stands for Public Rights of Way. In Scotland you can ride anywhere in open countryside, (in skiing terms off piste). that includes footpaths. The only restrictions on the hills, which btw is for everyone's safety, is when Deer Stalking ( Culling ) is in progress

[@470danadidas]

Great video but I would've preferred to join Steve on his big day out. The fish n chips post ride would've tasted 10x better. Glad to see you riding Cube bikes on the show. Mines brilliant .
