Bike Friday Launches the Pocket Rocket Further, Its First Folding Gravel-Specific Bike
Born in 1992, Bike Friday is a second-generation family-owned business that makes unique, well-made foldable bikes. Theyre based in Eugene, Oregon, where they hand-build the bike to your exact specifications.(Photos / Ron Frazelle)At the MADE Show this year, Bike Friday launched its first-ever gravel-specific bike. We got to see it up close and personal, and its a real looker! Plus, it was all dressed up in a new Bike Friday proprietary color as well. Its called Peridot Green, and I love it.The new Pocket Rocket Further is based on the wildly popular Pocket Rocket; the new Pocket Rocket Further Gravel bike is Bike Fridays first folding bike designed from the ground up for gravel.It looks ready for any terrain. It has bigger tire clearance (up to 1.6 tires), supports thru-axles, replaceable drop-outs, hydraulic disc brakes, and sports a UDH rear derailleur hanger. Its hand-built, custom-fit, and it still folds up into an airline-checkable suitcase.Drop bars are hard to pack, so the new Pocket Rocket Further comes with split road drop bars. This makes the drop bars easy to separate and pack up. But it remains strong and stiff when installed.
