Epic Rides has announced Ford Bronco as the official auto partner of the 2021 OZ Trails Off-Road mountain bike event, scheduled for October 15-17, 2021 in Bentonville and Bella Vista, Arkansas.
In a release, the event organiser added… ‘The much-anticipated return of the iconic brand is here, with the new 2021 Ford Bronco (2Door and 4Door) and Bronco Sport on full display, and available for vehicle walkarounds at the OZ Trails Off-Road Expo Event all weekend long.’
To showcase the ‘built wild’ capability of the new Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport, participants will also be able to engage in a ‘Ride and Drive’ event at the OZ Trails Off-Road, allowing them to experience first-hand many of the vehicle’s off-roading features on a purpose-built course by the NWA Trailblazers with a professional driver.
Ride and Drive attendees will experience an off-road trail ranging from rocky terrain to dense woods and open grasslands that will test the Bronco’s ‘Terrain Management System with GOAT modes’. Ride and drives are limited on a first-come, first-served basis.
“If there’s one thing all mountain bikers share in common, it’s getting off the beaten path on an adventure,” said Todd Sadow, President and Founder of Epic Rides. “The new Ford Bronco is built to be the ultimate off-road adventure machine, and we’re excited to showcase the return of this icon at the OZ Trails Off-Road.”
Thanks to more than US$75 million invested in soft and hard surface trails to date, Northwest Arkansas has fast become known as ‘the mountain bike capital of the world’. Featuring three-course lengths (15-, 30- and 45-miles), the OZ Trails Off-Road offers a challenge for a wide range of mountain bikers on a network of single-track.
