rock Posted February 9, 2015 Share 650b wheels on size smalls? How much longer TT in comparison to the same size regular Vipa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanpmb Posted February 9, 2015 Share So PYGA have developed a ViPa type bike in the Stage and Momsen have developed a 110 type bike in the ViPa Trail... within similar time frames... Interesting...

Brian Fantana Posted February 9, 2015 Share 650b wheels on size smalls? How much longer TT in comparison to the same size regular Vipa? I would rather like to see a comparison between the reach dimensions of the Vipa Trail and the XC Vipa. If you have a slack seat tube angle you can have a long top tube with a short reach, but with a steeper seat tube angle you can have a longer reach with the same top tube length.

Headshot Posted February 9, 2015 Share Assuming you are referring to this:"The lower BB allows it to rip around berms without causing pedal strikes on every bend." It doesn't say "fewer". But compared to an Ibis Ripley there have definitely been less pedal strikes. Hope this helps.Okay, so despite the lower BB its not a pedal klapping nightmare :-) Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoLefty!! Posted February 9, 2015 Share I'd like to see how long the front centre is. Slacker usually means longer and getting toolong up front ain't so lekker for the singletrack climbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock Posted February 9, 2015 Share The Momsen logo on the top tube features a "camouflage" design idea borrowed from the car industry to keep prying eyes guessing. You know what would keep me guessing......no decals. Hairy and GoLefty!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odinson Posted February 9, 2015 Share This bike will obviously have the Momsen fanboys jizzing their pants, but honestly, how will this bike be any different from the hordes of other mid-travel trail bikes? It really doesn't seem to be anything new or special. Johny Bravo and GoLefty!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
