REAL. EPIC. — Quad Lock's $4,000 Ride Story Competition is Open
Every ride has a story. The pre-dawn climb before the rest of the world wakes up. The road trip that became something else entirely. A trail that takes many attempts until the right flow is found.
Quad Lock wants to see those moments. And from June 1, riders around the world can submit theirs for a chance to win a $4,000 USD Adventure Fund.
What Is REAL. EPIC.?
REAL. EPIC. is Quad Lock's global content series celebrating the riders, adventurers and explorers who live life on two wheels. The series is built around one thing: real content from real rides, captured as they happen.
No AI. No filters. No shortcuts. Just the ride as it happened.
For the first time, Quad Lock is opening the series up to its global community - motorcycle riders and cyclists worldwide, with $4,000 USD on the line for the best entry.
HOW TO ENTER
- Send us your most EPIC ride content - photo and/or video.
- Tell us in 100 words (or less) what riding means to you
- Entries close July 31
From June 1 to July 31, 2026, riders can submit their images or video content of their most epic ride. Alongside the content, entrants describe in 100 words what riding means to them.
The winner is chosen by community vote on Instagram Stories in August 2026 and takes home the $4,000 USD Adventure Fund to spend however they choose on their next adventure. The winning entry is also featured as a collab post on @quadlock.

What Quad Lock Is Looking For
Adventure means something different to everyone. A solo morning commute that clears your head, a weekend trail ride with friends, or a trip years in the planning. Quad Lock would like to see it!
Quad Lock isn't looking for the most extreme entry. The $4,000 goes to the story that best captures what riding means to the person telling it.
You can find examples on our @quadlock Instagram if you're looking for some inspiration!
