    So I've been wondering if you could buy your dream SA built bike, but being realistic in terms of price.... Titan Racing Pyga Signal Momsen Silverback - Thanks for the suggestions Mecer - Thanks for the suggestions What would it be? Mine would be the PYGA Stage Max GX set. Which has a great all round setup, great 130mm for a good pop, it allows for relative "easy" climbs, great session down the trails and can also be used in some marathon events even. Would be really interested to hear what other hubbers think or WISH. Cheers

    Hi Guys, It's time to upgrade my MTB. Looking at getting a Full Sus 29'er and have a budget of around 30k. I mostly do XC and Marathon style riding. Hoping to do some stage races like Wines2Whales and Sani. Was keen on the Specialized Epic Comp (Aluminium Frame) which was on special for R30k but unfortunately they all sold out before I could get my hands on one... So need some advice relating to other brands and options. What advice do you guys have in terms of 1. Going second hand? Heard some scary stories about expensive repairs to the shocks... 2. Specialized. Would love to get an Epic. But not sure about the Brain and the 150hr services I'll need to send it away for. Any experience with this? ....Kinda wanna just get one anyway 3. Momsen? I've seen some pretty good deals on their bikes. But their frame guarantee is only for 3 years? Anyone have any experience with their VIPA RACE ONE? Seriously considering getting this one since I'm not so sure an Epic at around 30k is realistic. Thanks in advance guys. Will appreciate any insight or experience!

    Hi Guys, just some pics we took at the race registration last week --- so awesome to see the amount of VIPA's ( some old, some new ) on the startline. well done to all the riders -- each and every one of you are LEGENDS!!!! interesting to note how the bike setups have evolved over the past 3 years in terms of setup / bags / cockpit etc. please feel free to add to this thread if you rode the event or even just have a VIPA . we love seeing our bikes being put to good use like this!!!

    Hi all. I'm looking to upgrade my hardtail, just not sure what I could ask to sell my Momsen AL029 2018. Less than 300km on the road, still brand new and serviced
  8. MomsenBikes SA
    Arguably our biggest bike project to date --- the new VIPA ULTRA will be hitting the local trails shortly. Following it's debut at the 2018 CAPE EPIC, the new bike has seen 6 months of added refinement ( on top of the 18 months of design and development ) as well as extensive riding and testing in South Africa. Rider feedback and real-world feedback have resulted in various refinements and tweaks to those first bikes debuted in March. The new and final frames are expected next month ( August 2018 ). We will be launching a dedicated website and portal for all things ULTRA.

    https://bikerumor.com/2018/11/19/momsen-builds-a-special-bike-for-munga-full-suspension-drop-bar-vipa-ultra/ Anyone who has been on the bike through the 90's would immediatelly appreciate the throwback, especially if you knew the man that designed it's own long standing appreciation for the influence a certain Mr. Johnny T had on our sport. My opinion is that this bike is the best of everything you could need for something like the Munga. Dual sus. Aero features. LITRES of drink storage and tons of onboard storage as well. Planned by Victor Momsen and assembled by Robbie Powell and his team who is a legend in his own right. Sho... This bike gives me... feelings. Unsure how something so modern can unearth that "old school" feeling as well at the same time. http://thebodymechanic.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/MTB3.jpg

    Thought I'd share how I fit a Specialized SWAT kit on my Momsen Vipa. I wasn't too keen on the Momsen Integrate Toptube Box so decided to rather try out the Spec SWAT kit. Only managed to secure the SWAT box bolt and the middle slot of the bottle cage. The assembly is quite solid with just the two bolts keeping in down. Can fit a normal CAMELBAK bottle or any other normal size bottle easily in die diagonal cage. Bottle cage in upright position has got the SWAT mini tool at the bottom which fits perfectly in that space. Next up will be to fit the headset chainbreaker tool.

    I haven't seen a thread for Momsen bikes. So lets see them! I'll start with mine.

    I have been toying with the idea of switching to a dual suspension bike for some time and when Iwan Kemp, aka The Crow, offered me his Momsen VIPA for a test ride I jumped at the opportunity. Touted as a “Super Bike” the Momsen VIPA is purpose built for cross country and marathon riding, though this particular one had a few twists in its tail. Click here to view the article

    Planned as a 2016 Model, the VIPA Trail has been in development for several months and a couple of running prototypes have started to hit our trails for feedback and further design improvements. Click here to view the article

    In 2017, we're introducing the Bike Hub long-term test fleet. We'll be putting these bikes through their paces as we would our own bikes for an entire year, documenting the highs and lows along the way to give a more thorough and practical review of the bikes. The first bike to arrive is the Momsen VIPA TWO. The delivery caused a ripple of excitement in the office. Workstations were deserted as we unboxed: ooohing, aaahing, analysing the extent of the “yellow”, weighing components, and generally ogling this shiny new race weapon. Click here to view the article
  16. Bike Hub Features
    When shopping for a budget mountain bike, it’s usually just a straightforward case of specification comparison to determine which bike offers better components for the price. The Momsen AL229 looks to set itself apart, not only in terms of components, but also with its LSG (long, slack geometry) frame design. Click here to view the article

    At their recent dealer launch event, we spotted the latest iteration of the Momsen VIPA Trail. Scheduled for launch in the second quarter of 2016, the Trail version will provide a longer travel option to the VIPA lineup with a "mild" and a "wild" build option. Click here to view the article

    We’ve had a Momsen VIPA AC in the office for a little while now. Since my own carbon VIPA XT has been sitting in pieces pending a rebuild it was a perfect time to put in some testing. Click here to view the article

    The Momsen LA651 is a women’s specific 650b hardtail. Retailing at just over R7,000 it falls firmly in the entry-level category, however it might be just the ticket to encourage you or your partner to fall in love with biking, without making the huge financial commitment required by a higher specced model.

    On Wednesday night Two Wheels Trading launched their 2016 product range at a dealer event in Johannesburg. The all-new Momsen VIPA Team issue and XT were among the items on display. Although we've already taken a first look at the Vipa XT on screen, we hadn't yet seen it in the flesh, nor had we seen the new colour way for the Team issue spec. Click here to view the article

    Swedish National Cross Country Champion and World Cup Cross Country contender, Emil Lindgren, joined Kargo Pro MTB in November. He recently arrived in South Africa for the first SA Cup XCO event and this coming Sunday (15 March 2015) kick of his fourth Cape Epic partnering with Brendon Davids. We caught up with Emil at the Lifecycle Expo to talk about racing in South Africa, the Cape Epic, bikes and the growth of the sport. Click here to view the article

    What feels like an eternity is finally coming to a close: My Momsen STR29 Single speed is ready to ride in all it's Gulf Oil racing colors glory. Looking back at all the installments and browsing through the pictures I've taken along the way it's hard to believe where it all started and where we are now. Click here to view the article

    Kargo Pro MTB is relishing the start of an exciting 2015 mountain biking season and the country’s only UCI Trade Team’s frantic start to the new year has been further bolstered by the confirmation that recent international signing, world number nine Emil Lindgren will join the outfit in sunny South Africa for a full seven weeks.

    This is my first post on The Hub..so hello everyone I am in the process of shopping for a new 29" hardtail in the 15-20k price range. Based on searches in the forums, web reviews and spec-by-spec comparisons I've narrowed down my options to the following: 2014 Merida Big.Nine 1500 2015 Momsen AL429 2014 Momsen AL529 The Al529 seems to no longer be an option as most retailers I've spoken to are unable to order 2014 momsens. (probably due to the 2015 range coming in next week) So it's down to the Al429 and the Big nine 1500. Either one will cost roughly R18,000. I am struggling to decide between the specs. The Merida ships with a mid to top range fox fork (Fox 32 Float 29 Evo 100) whereas the Momsen ships with an entry-level Rockshox fork (30 gold) However the momsen does have an XT rear derailleur as well as Stan's ZTR rapid rims which I have heard are quite good. I've also read many positive reviews and a generally favourable sentiment amongst Hub users for Momsen bikes. (not to mention that they are a local brand) So which one would you recommend? I am not too clued up on compontents and their various pros and cons. Basically what I am looking for is a decent, value for money hardtail that can take a beating. Alternative brand/bike suggestions are also welcome I appreciate your feedback!

    Morning Hubbers. Especially Stellenbosch and surrounds. Please be on the look out for my stolen Momsen SL929. Couple of unique features to make it very easy to stand out. 1. Powertap oversized rear hub. (Thru axle). - Very few mtb's riding around with these. Even fewer on 142+ thru axle bikes. Built on ZTR Crest rim. 2. ZTR Crest front wheel with tied & soldered spokes. Stickers quite faded from the sun and washing. - Again something you don't see very often. 3. Carbon Fizik Antares saddle with red details and carbon rails. (Some scuff marks on the sides). 4. Very narrow and well worn Easton EA90 carbon h/bar. 5. 2013 Sani2C bracelet on h/bar. Bike is not insured so offering a R5000 reward if complete bike is returned. Thanks Francois
