The Pocket Rocket Further is our adaptation of the legendary Pocket Rocket road bike, this time built for loose gravel. We took it to MADE in Portland, and in this video we go through the show bike properly: the new modular rear dropouts, the drivetrain they let us run, the easy pack titanium seat mast, the brakes, the stem, and the new Peridot Green paint.
A quick word on who we are if you haven't come across us before. Bike Friday has been building frames in Eugene, Oregon for 34 years and we manufacture 100% of them in our own shop. There are over 13 models in the range, all made in the USA, from tandems and cargo bikes to commuters and e-bikes, and every one is built to the measurements of the person who ordered it.
Worth saying that a fair bit on this particular bike is optional rather than standard. Hydraulic brakes on a folding bike is always a hot topic, so tell us in the comments where you land on it. If we skipped over something you wanted to see, ask, and we will answer. The Further can quick-fold, though this particular build is not set up for it. We will be showing it packed into a suitcase in an upcoming feature.
The Further starts at $3,200 as a fully built bike, and is also available as a frame kit or a fully custom build. If you want to talk one through, email our sales team at
