Aero GSA Posted November 1, 2011 Share The first 2012 Fury AL1 for the new 2012 team arrived and i am loving it. The rest will be here end of November. Big thanks to Nigel Hicks for letting me ride his GT. That was the deciding factor to us chosing the GT's. Big thanks to Omnico and Leigh's Cycle Centre for all their assistance with the bikes. Cant wait for the 2012 season to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daneger Posted November 1, 2011 Share Full retail on the Fury AL1 is R24995.00 I presume this is for just the frame, but I would love it to be for the full bike set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolais Posted November 1, 2011 Share No Danegar, that is for the full bike!!!! Boxxer races, Fox Van RC, Elixir 7's, X7 etc...... And there is a cheaper option too: The AL2.0. It has a lower spec but it is still a fully capable DH Sled.The AL2.0 Retails at an incredible 19 995 - see the oBike link below.It has 888Rv's, Roco R, Elixer 3, X5 etc... http://www.obike.co.za/Products/ProductsList.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note it seems like Obike made a mistake with the 2.0 component listing since a Boxxer is listed while the pic shows a Bomber. People are going to be comparing this bike with the BootR and it will be interesting to know why people go for the one or the other. Personally for me I really like the GT frame design (opinion might be biased though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngala24 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Do MERIDA make a DH bike ? I think the closest they come is the one-twenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolais Posted November 2, 2011 Share Merida's more hard hitting bikes fall under the UMF brand. UMF (United Merida Freeriders)They make Freeride and Dh Bikes. http://www.umf-bikes.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Omega Man Posted November 2, 2011 Share Where can i find a list of places in JHB to ride a DH bike ?You get on the N3 and drive for about 4 hours. When you get to a place called Pietermaritzburg you will have found the best place in JHB to ride a DH bike. hehehe. Just kidding. geecee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The similarly specced Demo is 33k. I've ridden the carbon Fury for a day and it felt very tall and short tho. I hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero GSA Posted November 2, 2011 Share Different bikes for different folks. On the day i rode the GT Fury, i also test rode the Morewood Makulu and Kona. Didnt hate the Morewood or Kona, they just didnt feel right under me. The GT Fury felt perfect, therfore have 10 on order for the team.
