Weight Weenie Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Just saw this on Twitter, new bike coming out. Fox fork 9mm QR, Conti X-King tyres, Full Shimano XT M780 and looks like Stans rims on X9 hubs, Partial internal cable routing. White with black, black fork, white rims. They dont have weight/price/due date yet. Me thinks this may just be the bike I've been waiting for Que piggy bank being broken
Frosty Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 but you haven't listed THE MOST IMPORTANT spec... 26" or 29er
pezulu Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 You can get the SL929 right now, if the piggy bank is open.My son has one, and it is a beaut. You can easily get the weight down under 10kg.Ours is 9.8kg, and that is with cheap SPD pedals attached.
Weight Weenie Posted May 24, 2011 Author Posted May 24, 2011 Dubber gan kyk op twitter @momsenbikes Pezulu - saw a 9kg Sl929 with a lefty, XX etc. can still drop weight with lighter wheels etc.Just above my price range at this stage, very good value !
AndreZA Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 The Sram agents told me that X9 hubs are some of the heaviest out there and they are not gonna bother bringing them in because of it.
ngala24 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Did anybody else see on bikerumour that there new Dual sus 29er looks exactly like this one http://www.kinesis.com.tw/frames/a637-2012.php
Grondpad Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) I see on the momsen site is just a short piece of info on the SL 729: http://www.momsenbikes.com/ontheboil.cfm Jip, not much I know. Edited May 24, 2011 by Grondpad
Grondpad Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Any word on when the bike will be going on sale? Maybe a rumour of a price? If you look at the other Momsen prices it should be really well priced. Maybe in the region of 25K?
Grondpad Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Bike will be available from Aug 2011 accordign to the Momsen site: http://www.momsenbikes.com/ontheboil.cfm
Grondpad Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 On the Momsen Facebook page I see that they are launching a AL529 as well. XT/SLX with ZTR Crest as well. Anyone have pics of it?
