New Zealander Matthew Fairbrother isn’t wired the same as the rest of us. Being a professional enduro mountain bike racer is a hard enough job but Matthew made a name for himself by making his life even tougher by bikepacking between rounds of the Enduro World Cup (EDR). As soon as we witnessed his grit and determination we wanted to work with Matthew. If you want to see just why he’s the perfect fit for the R&D Division, sit back and enjoy two minutes and thirty seconds of Matthew just simply being Matthew.
