FX Bikes │ Team FX

No doubt about it, New Zealand is a country with a lot of attitude and it’s that attitude that’s seen us produce more than our fair share of winners and world firsts. Oscar-winning filmmakers, atom splitting scientists, moon-landing managers, world beating athletes and adventurers and ground breaking design in boats, cars and motorcycles.

We’re a tiny country on the edge of the world – maybe that’s what gives us an edge. Travelling to these remote South Pacific islands is an adventure in itself, even today. To succeed on the international stage we’ve had to take advantage of our isolation and become a country of independent thinking innovators, leaders and producers…we’ve had to become a team of Adventurers. The FX Bikes philosophy is the same. We’ve assembled a team of world class Adventurers with expertise in aerospace, motorsports, adventure sports, engineering, design and international business, backed by a much wider pool of energy and talent that New Zealand is offering by the bucket full.
