Hoekom nie? Jy stil mos die sag volgens jou gewig? Ek weet net onder 100 (96, 5 nou te danke aan die Vipa!) En die 80mm is genoeg vir my.

 

Al meer as een keer gehoor dat shops vir groter ouens sê om eerder fiets te vat met meer travel. Absolute nonsens. Ek, met my gewig, ry my Vipa hard en hyt nog nie een keer uit ge-bottom nie.

 

As jy gaan groot drops en gaps doen gaan jy egter probleem hê met 80mm. En natuurlik hang dit ook af van hoe "smooth" (of nie) jy ry.

Just saw the most useless "review" of the Vipa on Supercycling. Not exactly making me rush out to buy one...

So thats 2 awesome bikes now.

 

How many MTB's at the crow's nest?

 

Keep on looking at this bike and wonder, I got a perfect trail weapon, wonder if I want to build me a XC/long distance, flatter Racy bike. Just the frame price, I've heard it's R25K just for the frame. ouchhhhh

Another great weekend's riding behind my back. Rode Tokai on Saturday with no intention or goal other than just riding the Vipa. Realised the suspension has bedded nicely and can do with a tweak or two - front and back. But, to be honest I couldn't be bothered! Was such a great day out riding killer single track (which I helped build!) on a perfect day.

 

Sunday I rode from my house to Zevenwacht, couple of twists and turns there and headed home. What a blast. Only had a water bottle and my phone with me and really enjoyed the relaxed cruise on the bike. Very little comes close to just being out and about on my mountain bike on a sunny day.

 

There is no doubt in my mind that it's capable of more than just being a pure race snake bike. Granted I've made some spec tweaks to aid this, but the frame and rear suspension is capable to soak up Cape Town's rocky, rooty trails.

Namib - alles wat hy gesê het, is alreeds op baie ander plekke gesê en is dus niks nuuts nie. Wat ek verwag het is dat hy die fiets deur heelwat meer van sy passies sal sit en dan terugvoer gee oor die hantering onder verskillende toestande. Almal weet die fiets kan klim, dis ook al verskeie kere in verskillende publikasies genoem.

Ek moet myne aanmekaar kry voor die Desert Dash van die 13de Desember - die raam het darem vandag aangekom...

 

Sias maak sin wat jy se.

Hi hoop jy geniet die Dash .Bietjie van n om pad maar as jy voor of na die tyd iets meer van die Namibia wil sien en jy wil hier langs verby gaan, is jy welkom hier by ons te kom oor staan.(Rosh Pinah)

So n ou skaap rib voor die Dash sal als goed olie. :w00t: of na die tyd.

 

Geniet

650b is only available in small. This is one of the best handling 29ers I've ridden and at least top three in its category.

 

CWC has stock on their floor. Both complete bikes and frame only.
