craig82 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Man I have been waiting for you to write this article for a while now Crow.Waiting waiting waiting... and them bam - still no confirmation on the rear travel!
rock Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 650b wheels on size smalls? How much longer TT in comparison to the same size regular Vipa?
Ryanpmb Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 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... TYGA, shaper and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 3
Brian Fantana Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 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 Posted February 9, 2015 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

GoLefty!! Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 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
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Will this come with a carbon rear triangle, ala VIPA AC?
Headshot Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 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 climbingWho cares about climbing :-) Its a 29er and thats a bigger hindrance right there... GoLefty!! and popcorn_skollie 2
Bizkit031 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Who cares about climbing :-) Its a 29er and thats a bigger hindrance right there... these are the new breed and they RIP and its a 29er also have a look at Evil The Following and Transitions Smuggler.Dissing a 29ers are gonna change with these bikes.

rock Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 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
Iwan Kemp Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 You know what would keep me guessing......no decals. Like this? http://scontent-a.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xfa1/t51.2885-15/e15/10838441_783654868357971_670583906_n.jpg cobus3000, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Hairy 3
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Interesting that they're speccing a Float X on there... Shredding harder than people may think, maybe?
rock Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 ja,ja....... decals are actually quite catchy, they should try use them for the basis of the bikes production paint job...... Hairy 1
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 ja,ja....... decals are actually quite catchy, they should try use them for the basis of the bikes production paint job......Hey! I said that as well... They're really kiff decals.
Odinson Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 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
