Mine came with a full hardcover manual. Pretty impressive.

Whats the price for a Cabon frame+shock?

 

size medium, then I can use my 2nd set of Crest wheels.

If I remember correctly the pricing is on the Momsen website. Around R26k I think.

Jest tested out the Vipa, these bikes are special, Bit of heart and soul in that frame. Gives you confidence and a sweet ride, i think a rear lockout is advisable for longer rides, even so i could spend days on it.

It`s a large thank god otherwise I might have bought it.

Agreed this bike needs the XX shock with remote at the back the Fox with pro-pedal on/climb mode is still completely too soft for a race machine. The XX shock locks out properly, not pro-pedal-bob like a Fox.

I'm more than happy with mine with the Monarch in the back. Hardly ever use lock out. Have ridden one with a 2014 CTD and it's like night and day. Made me realise just how much I need to replace the Fox on my HDR.

Your wallet's not save yet...

 

How tall are you? I'm 179 and ride a Large with a 60mm downer stem and it's a perfect fit. ALL 29ers should run shorter stems - does wonders for the steering and single track handling.
