“From rhythm, toward a challenge of your own.”
TRIGON partners with Elmo to launch his personal endurance challenge, Project “One”. This is an extreme ride to complete a full lap around Taiwan within 100 hours, finishing with a northbound ascent to Wuling. For Elmo, it is not just a test of physical endurance, but a long-form performance shaped by rhythm, control, and will. From dancer to rider, he translates the language of his body into every pedal stroke—and TRIGON chooses to ride alongside him.
Riding as a kind of Performance
As a dancer and performer, Elmo is accustomed to controlling his body through rhythm and making decisions within motion and change. In Project “One”, there is no stage and no spotlight. Instead, there are long hours of solitary riding, physical depletion, and the constant discipline of maintaining his own rhythm. Within this process, riding becomes more than movement—it becomes an ongoing dialogue with oneself.
TRIGON GV2｜A Stable Rhythm for Long-Distance Challenges
Accompanying Elmo on this journey is the TRIGON GV2, a platform that balances road efficiency with gravel stability. Across long durations and varied terrain, the GV2 delivers consistent geometry and endurance-focused performance, allowing a stable rhythm through city roads, coastal winds, and mountain climbs.
Elmo named his custom-painted bike “Siam-Spice”, featuring a bright orange finish with metallic detailing. It reflects his personal expression—distinct yet controlled, powerful yet composed. Throughout the challenge, the bike was not just equipment, but a presence he could rely on.
At the Limit｜Breaking and Rebuilding
The challenge was far from smooth.
In eastern Taiwan, Elmo collapsed in Fengbin due to caloric deficit. On the Suhua Highway, he again faced the edge of physical exhaustion. When rhythm breaks and the body loses control, it becomes the most difficult moment for someone used to commanding the stage. Yet it is precisely in that moment that he redefined what riding means—not perfect execution, but the ability to continue making decisions within imbalance. With the support of his team, he returned to his rhythm and kept moving forward.
Final Section｜Pushing Through the Edge
The final challenge was the ascent to Wuling. Low temperatures, heavy rain, and altitude turned the ride into a pure test of will. Along the dark stretches of Provincial Highway 7A and through snowfall near Crystal Palace, everything reduced to its most fundamental form—breathing, pedaling, moving forward.
In the final kilometers, the GV2 continued to deliver stable output, carrying him through the last stretch. The time was set at 99 hours, 20 minutes, and 55 seconds.
Ride Side by Side with TRIGON｜From This Challenge to the Next
For TRIGON, this is more than a record—it is a reflection of the relationship between rider and machine. We believe riding is not only about performance or distance, but about facing oneself, building rhythm, and continuing forward. Through Project “One”, we witnessed how a rider redefines his rhythm at the edge of his limits, and it reinforces what TRIGON stands for—to be something you can trust, and something that moves forward with you, on every road.
Ride side by side with TRIGON.
This is not the end—it is the beginning of the next journey.
