QUAD: Cole can you tell us a bit about Fasst Co?
Cole: Fasst Company is a rider driven company, made up of racers stemming 3 generations. Our mission is to provide customers with 100% American Made products that add value to their riding or racing programs.
QUAD:What’s new at Fasst Co?
Cole: We are just releasing our new 15* Flexx System. We worked with Bill Ballance and John Natalie for most of the year on this new bend. They really dig the 15* bar, it put them in a better position on the quad. Both Bill and John had similar feedback on it. We are really excited about it because it will allow our customers more options to perform at their best. We are working on our team riders for 08, hopefully we will add a few more factory teams to our roster. We have a great team anchor with Bill Ballance, he’s great to work with, and provides great real world feedback to further develop our products.
QUAD: How long on average does it take to install a set of Fasst bars?
Cole: No longer than it takes to install any other bar. Installing the Flexx System is really straight forward and simple and would probably take the average weekend warrior around 15 minutes to remove his old bars, then install the Flexx System. We have a pro set up sheet on our web site for customers who want run their bars exactly like our team riders.
QUAD:How heavily is Fasst Co. involved in ATV racing?
Cole: We are definitely heavily involved in ATV racing. We have WPSA champ John Natalie on the bars, 7x GNCC champ Bill Ballance who is chasing down title #8 this weekend! It would probably be easier to list the riders that are not using the Flexx System which are few and far between, we are really lucky to be so well received by the best quad racers in the world. We’ve averaged 80 percent of the top 5 in the GNCC pro class this year. We just wrapped up the XC2 championship with Brandon Sommers and the Women’s Championship with Traci Cecco, both have great programs going that we are stoked to be part of. Brandon’s racing the XC1 class now and is already a top 5 guy. It’s really exciting working with so many great racers. I can’t wait to check the results and start getting updates every Monday on how all our riders did.
QUAD:What is your favorite thing about ATVs and the industry?
Cole: I’m sure everyone says this but it is definitely the people. We meet so many great people throughout the year, it’s great to be able to add value to their riding or racing campaigns. We are so fortunate to be able to do what we do.
