 It's
time for the FX Adventure
The new FX Adventure - engineered, designed and manufactured
in New Zealand - is an all terrain, high-performance motorcycle,
half the weight of its nearest competitors (sub-45kg), which
creates a new category of two-wheel fun and excitement
Ultralight Motorbikes.
Taking the agility and portability of the mountain bike and adding
the power and performance of a motorbike, the FX Adventure has
been designed specifically to combine the unrestrained delight
of cutting loose in the great outdoors with the convenience of
swift commuting through city streets. When you've finished having
fun you can lift it over fences, walk it up stairways, carry
it on your car bike rack and wheel into your home and workplace.
This undeniably irresistible package of rock star cool and movie
star good looks takes you everywhere a mountain-bike can go and
much further, with more fun and less effort. And for all its
power and speed the FX Adventure is super quiet and still manages
to tread lightly over our environment.
In developing the FX Adventure, Design Synergy New Zealand met
the adventure sports and lifestyle transport markets head on.
Not surprisingly it has attracted significant investment funding
from both the private sector and the New Zealand Government.
Extensive research continues to build confidence in a sales potential
in the tens (and even hundreds) of thousands of bikes. Fun, funky
and enviro-friendly, the FX Adventure is an obvious choice across
high volume European and U.S. markets.
The market for the FX Adventure already exists in the 25 to 50
year age group that expects performance, versatility and style
in its transport. This market, with its philosophy of work hard,
play hard, is where people are constantly looking for ways to
lead the way in living just that bit closer to the edgea market
that already knows that the ability to blaze your own trail is
its own reward.
And it's a market the FX Adventure is about to make it a whole
lot bigger. In fact, it's going to blow it wide open.
You only get one chance to get to the market first. FX Adventure
offers shrewd partners a unique opportunity to take a significant
share of well established markets, and create a whole new customer
base with a brand new product category. The manufacturers strategy
is to build the desirability of the FX Adventure with limited
edition models pitched at the high end of the market before ramping
up production to satisfy a wider range of consumers.
FX Adventure is a marketer's dream, with high profile sports
and business-people excited about supporting the release of the
most significant innovation in two-wheeled transportation in
decades. Local and international media will be carefully targeted
to provide publicity in the form of televised sporting events,
documentaries and news stories, high profile publications, and
trade exhibitions.
You know how to do all the right things. You know you should
eat a balanced diet, take regular exercise and put a little aside
for a rainy day. And you know that every so often something comes
along that you absolutely need to be part of simply because it
makes your heart sing. For more info go to www.fxadventure.com.
