A Mondraker Superfoxy on top of the Etna volcano

“Getting to the top of the crater and seeing it with our own eyes was like being on another planet… It was almost impossible to believe our eyes”

This is not just an overcoming story. No, it's not even a story to confirm how well Superfoxy is in the hands of Mondraker ambassador Richard Gasperotti. This is a story to prove that there is no reason to have reasons for anything you do.

Only if you can do something, you do it, period. How to climb a volcano and descend it with the Superfoxy. Our ambassador Richard Gasperotti and his team have been continually asked why.

Why climb an active volcano over 3.000 meters high? Why climb it with a bike on your back? Why risk an uncertain descent to base? Because? "Because? Because we can, and if we can, we do. It's that simple." So Richard explained it to us when he told us about the incredible experience of the Etna volcano.

“The people of the village asked us why we were climbing the volcano on a bicycle. That it was dangerous, that it took us 24 hours… The problem is that we decided to do it to answer all those who asked us why. Getting to the top of the crater and seeing it with our own eyes was like being on another planet… It was almost impossible to believe our eyes.”

Climb from 1.800m of Piano Provenzana, to 3.303m to reach the top of the mythical active volcano Etna and descend. And we don't say it in Mondraker, Gasperotti says it: "If with this video, we get only one person off the sofa, we will confirm that what we are doing makes sense...".
