Fara is an Old Norse word which means ‘to journey’ or ‘to venture’. It is still used in the English words ‘Wayfaring’ and ‘Seafaring’ with the same sense of meaning. Although I don’t intend to take the F/Road on the water, will it be an ideal companion to ride the roads and lanes of Surrey? With its aim to be “responsive and fast without sacrificing weight in the name of aerodynamics” as well as not “being too harsh” or “forcing you into an uncomfortable riding position”, how will this fast road bike fare?
Norway's Fara has three bikes in its current lineup, the F/Road, the F/All-Road and the F/Gravel, all aimed at exploring different aspects of the landscape.
