Hey! I said that as well... 

:)

 

They're really kiff decals. 

What the "MAMPAR"?

 

Can you see it?

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.

They are a couple of years late to the party. There are loads of these bikes, and they are mostly all good aswell. Pygas, Stumpys, Trances etc etc.

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! 

650b wheels on size smalls?

 

How much longer TT in comparison to the same size regular Vipa?

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

 

Geometry might still get a tweak or two hence the reason for no firm numbers just yet. As is it's pretty damn spot on so the production model may be quite similar. We'll know soon enough...

I guess a MAMPAR is a rather big and wild MAMPARRA? 

 

Yip, and whatever happens make sure you never run into a DADPAR.

realistically how many different mules are there or would there normally be......is all the 'R&D' just PR once the frame has been designed on a computer and then welded up?

 

*disclaimer: not trolling, just curious.

I guess I would alone in thinking these momsen's are not terribly attractive to look at. Ms

Making that down tube less of a "s" would bump it up a notch in the aesthetics departments

Problem s then that you run out of space for a bottle, from the looks of things... Saying that, the bottle mount looks awfully high...
