Descending the wild roads of Madeira, Portugal | First ride on the 2023 SCOTT Foil 

Hey man! Welcome to Madeira! Been a fan for a while, so it's great so see you riding here. Hope you enjoy our island.

Great views but that HUB sound is unbearable :(

Dope, its like Cali just greener.

New Scott Foil with the perfectly engineered and tuned bottom bracket creaking and brake sounds!

I'm glad you've visited my country, buddy! I hope you were well received. Cheers!

I heared the disc scratch sounds at 2:30

I've seen you do some crazy shit, but bombing this hill with cows just chilling on the edges of the road waiting to step out in front of you is just madman tings

10:19 its so awesome when drivers know that a cyclists will be faster on the descent so avoid overtaking on the crest. Annoyingly in the uk it almost never happens

Damn that's an insanely long descent, must have fought a lot on the climb

Oh my lord, what a beautiful and refreshing sight to see. Madeira has such a chill environment. Amazing skills and the new Scott is looking FOGO! Aproveita ae em Portugal!

gotta love a brand new bike already having various disc brake noises haha.

You're crazy dude xD We're not used to fast cyclists out here, please be careful 🥴😂😂

I liked first half, but then saw some unreasonable risk. A lot. And then it got very sloppy with all those risky overtakes, on bends, with close passing and slipstreaming 13:05 14:56 17:25. I think it is not just unreasonable risk, but lack of skill, especially at 15:34. Very dangerous at 17:12. Don't think that video would be much worse and less dynamic without all this. I don't know, guys. I can watch some crazy NY fixers doing worse, but I know what to expect there - full YOLO desperado daredevil shit. Yet they won't be badly injured with their speeds and this guy will definitely be. It is not a race and/or closed/quite road. Don't know what's the idea here and if it is worth to be a moralfag here :) Do nOT RePeAT aT HoMe KidS!

What a beautiful place to ride! Please take it easy, maybe slow down just a bit, I don't want to hear about you getting hurt.

That was an exhilarating ride with beautiful scenery 😀. The PWR figure shown on screen, is that measured in watts at the crank?

It's fun to see you go down in European landscapes, with European cars.. The landscape is crazy just the style remains. Happy Holidays!

Serious descent. The disc brake and freewheel sound is amazing. The whole island can hear you coming for sure. Bonus safety feature.

More Disc breaks squealing away on $15,000 , 2023 bike.

Awesome riding as always!! But that freehub sound was just annoying :/

Thank you for coming to our country! Great descending, as always!

Never make a descent like that on my island: there are dogs... too dangerous

7:33 watch out for the unexpected like a car blocking the entire road 😂

Yooooooo savage! I didn't imagine that Portugal has these amazing roads. Pray for speed ❤‍🔥

Madeira... SIUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Do another one without brakes

Bombing downhill faster than Cristiano Ronaldo bombing out of Manchester United.

Hi Safa, I watch your videos from a year and a half I think. I know you got great skills, but at that speed you should be wearing some protective gear, like motorcyclists, maybe some light gear but do wear it.

Looks so familiar🕊🤙🏾 Yes that’s Praia da Calheta. Awesome ride SAFA and hope you get to ride down the windy roads towards Porto Moniz!!

Stellar Descent! It would seem the disc rubbing has not been solved. lol.

Hey rafa you have to go to serra da estrela, there are some awesome descents either way from the torre, down towards covilhã or Manteigas

I recently climbed 6000ish to the top of Clingman's Dome in TN/NC. Felt like you on the way down just gliding through curves. Your channel is inspiring!

15:37 - Don't text and drive, Brian!

I like the color grading. It's almost surreal.

Что у него с передачами? все передачи трещат, так плохо настроены или настолько мягкая рама, что под нагрузкой цепь задевает за переключатель?

i think its just crazy how the fine pawls inside a freehub can work for several years after riding stuff like this just crazy how durable some materials are

Not really a good advertisement for SCOTT Foil with all that squeaking but for Madeira with all the lush green. Also you ignoring red lights and rights of way in USA may be okay there but riding recklessly in Europe doesn't look that much fun

Bike check vid

Bruh the pads rubbing on the rotors was annoying as hell lol

Great vid! Had the opportunity to visit Madeira but without my bike 🙂 Such an amazing place!

Sounds like you're descending on a zip line!

Haha! You haven't bedded in your brakes yet!! :D

I visited Madeira in June and thought it would've been a blast to cycle... glad I came across this video!

I was wondering, when you go fast on a bicycle, is it possible to bend as we do on a motorcycle ?

Welcome to 🇵🇹 Brian! Glad to see you here📍Enjoy the Ride! 👍

Nice ride but hub sounds terrifying and it's disturbing.

The graphics of this game is crazy!!

It's look liked camera not center, is it because of gauges placement?

Parts of that looked a bit sketchy I was getting a bit of a sweat watching

This is insane. I went to Madeira last October and I would not dare to take my bike on open roads, especially when there's cars involved too. People drive their cars down and uphill like crazy....didn't see anybody on a road bike in 10 days on the island. Amazing place though! And breathtaking video. 🔥🔥

As a skater, it's wild to me how fast you guys go without elbow or knee-pads. Like what happens when it all goes wrong? Do you just melt on the asphalt?

Yet another Safa special. Perhaps its a combination of Aero bike/wheels/tires, lower tuck position, smooth roads and warmer air, but it seems for the grade you are descending, your avg speeds are higher by a few kph. Curious to know your thoughts.

7:30 how could u fit there? xD

beautiful roads, top rider on the best bike :D

Nice to see that even when your bombing hills you take the safe line. reassuring for us mortals bombing descents that it’s more important to be safe than fast and dead

You should continue this series of visiting countries and riding on their best roads, Safa.

SAFA!!! HUGE FAN! REAL QUICK, is the "wild" ever on your mind while smashing these hills!? Like any animal could run out? Has an animal ever gave you a tuss in the belly? Shit the pants? Made you're heart stop? Give us a Story, MATE!!!! Much love from Pittsburgh,Pa!!! #PrayForSpeed

👍👍👍👍👍🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

What is this sound his bike makes when he is pedaling hard? Is it chain rub? Is it normal? 🤔

The under-the-bar angle is killer.

is that the rotor rubbing at 3:45 ?

70+ km/h?! I go with 30-35 on descent at best, I fear the brakes will betray me😆

Is it just me or do the brakes sound freaking aweful?

Safa, why the noice Sounds so Bad, of you See climbing

Imagine dropping $10k or more on a bike and the brakes sounding like that.

7:29 ???????????

I have a rim brake bike. Does all these disk brake bikes making horn and scratching sounds while descending? Nice vid btw!

Safa seems to want a hospital stay

Is it electrical bicycle?? What is the brand and model?

Pray for those rotors and pads. Pray for people like me still running rim brakes.

Come to the north of Spain! Asturias has some of the best cycling in Europe.

I was cringing hearing those disk brakes rubbing

Have you ridden this before? Or what was your prep for it?

Could you please tell me, how could you add an extra layer with track information (speed, map, etc) to your video? What is the name of the app?

Can you decrease the sound of chains those are so annoying. Otherwise everything is fine 🙂

The roads are so nicely made. Here I cant even ride my mtorbike properly.

Very happy to see you in Portugal, my beautiful country. I hope you enjoyed!

YO! Safa is in my country eheh enjoy it

My thighs were burning just thinking about uphills

The greatest thing riding a road bike is overtaking cars. I just love it!!!!

You need someone with the drone and radio, so he can tell from above if there is car on the road or not.

If an animal jumps out onto the street, it's a crash, and you're at least broken: respect or stupidity or both?

The noise of this cassette is so annoying, better play on mute.

0:52 looks like you almost got charged 🐮

I’ve been going to Madeira for 10 years every year and last year cycled for the first time. That video was so awesome!

First )

Hah! I don’t know how many times I thought “he’s going TOO FAST!”. But, as usual, you had it under control. Thanks for the the thrill.

Someone put those hubs out of their misery

Stunningly beautiful area… so now you’re not just a bad ass man, you’re an “international bad ass man…” 😎🍻

The overtaking behind the car was really idiotic!!

I love the way you remind all those drivers how slow their cars really are

와 콕핏 진짜 깔끔한거 개이쁘네..

Would change to onyx hubs? Petty please?

Another brilliant video Safa. You should come to UK and make some too. Let me know if you do!

What a beautiful place

Friend, sometimes you take a lot of risks. This downhill somehow reminded me of motorcycle racing on the Isle of Man, only there on the track all the corners, walls, fences, they try to protect at least with compressed hay, well, or other means, and everything is adult for you. Respect you!

Hello, your videos are very inspiring, I watch you from Russia :)

Awesome descent, love the new scenery. Going there in August. Where did you end up staying.

Dlaczego ten rower musi tak hałasować jak stara sieczkarnia? Czy przy dzisiejszym stanie techniki nie idzie coś z tym zrobić?

Smooth new black pavement, even patching looks very smooth. Must not be in the USA! All these mini bump in the curve must make the ride so fun! load and unload

What is your hub sir? And what's the specs?
