A French athlete rides a bike designed in Canada(by a couple of Brits) with a British Racing Green-inspired colourway—a powerful trifecta. Watch William Robert as he tears through the Ussy Freeride zone on his “Bri’ish Racing Green” Supernought.
The origins of British Racing Green are somewhat mysterious. Some suggest it has Irish roots. When racing was banned on Great Britain’s roads, competitions moved to the Emerald Isle, a.k.a. Ireland. Regardless of its true origin, one thing is certain: it’s a fast colour steeped in racing heritage.
Forbidden’s inspiration came specifically from the race livery found on many of Aston Martin’s touring cars, which is why the brand added the fluorescent green highlights.
