Eugene Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I think it's awesome. The thing I like is that Momsen are not afraid to be South African. They are proud of it. Unlike other SA brands that claim to be Swiss or German. The map of the Baakens Valley on the top tube is a nice touch. arendoog and masterj 2
GlockG4 Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Always great to see everyone is an expert here..... I can almost guarantee 90% of you guys moaning about the bike probably needs to get some more love from "mamma". The facts are. ALL dealerships have launches EVERY year... that's where they show their new bikes. Its not the launch of an all new bike like car dealers do with say a whole new model. The fact that you dont know this proves how expert your opinions are.The differences are.. (LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU)ALL new XT 11 speed groupset (OBVIAAAS)Upgraded Fork from EVO to Performance seriesHubs(XT)- NO ONE has ridden these apart form probably a hand full of testers, So wait to ride it before you judge or. Might be good (just sayin)Second bottle cage (OBVIAS) Not alot of dual sus bikes allow 2 bottle cages and also keeps the center of gravity low, which, had you ridden your bikes and not moan on the hub, as you do, you would know is a big deal.New SaddleNew TyreInternal cable issue- Try replacing it... on your own... you will beg for external. Also when the cable runs on the inside allot of times it rusts up a lot quicker. Solid housing prevents this there are also less exposed bends the cable can grind against causing frictionAs we all know Orange is the new black...If you don't like the bike... ride it, it will change your opinion.I have ridden allot of bikes in my times. This thing is flippen good. By the way. Think how boring our lives would have been if all our bikes was matte black with some sort of gloss decal.. BLEH wheres the imagination. When you were a kid, did you color in using black only(NO) and you had much more fun back then, be a kid again, isnt that why we ride our bikes, to forget about the daily lives making us grumpy forum bitchers.Dont think like that man, HAVE FUN. Ride an flippen pink bike if its up you alley. Who cares. BIG UPS Team MOMSEN! I think its FABULAAAS.. Oh and ps.. Cant wait to get mine in a couple of weeks.Cant agree more, although the 'FABULAAAS' at the end might have put a dent in your argument.
FloatingPivot Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Cant agree more, although the 'FABULAAAS' at the end might have put a dent in your argument. Hey, Im a "boertjie", anytime I get to act like someone from another culture I am bound to mess it up... LOL
Gooimielies Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Anyone have any further information on the 2016 Vipa Team Issue following yesterday's dealer launch?
Gnarly Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Anyone have any further information on the 2016 Vipa Team Issue following yesterday's dealer launch? It's matte black and red, with some white. Oh and some scribble on the top tube.

All the "new" things you mentioned can be bought and fitted to an original vipa and it would be the same. Your "facts" are based on you will be an owner soon. You have to like it.
Gooimielies Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 It's matte black and red, with some white. Oh and some scribble on the top tube. Thanks Gnarly, any pics to share and any idea on pricing and availability. Did you hear about it or did you see it in person?
Iwan Kemp Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Now if you followed The Hub on Twitter or Instagram you would've seen some more pics from last night's TWT dealer evening!
Gooimielies Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks Iwan, I prefer to follow The Hub on The Hub! Appreciate the pics - will chat with a dealer about pricing and availaility.
DJuice Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 That is my dream bike!Wow, awesome, was up early this morning to see if the website changed, not in to social media.

Rouxtjie, not true.You cant add a second bottle cage to current frames, bosses moved up in the frame, current frame do not have bosses on seat tube. Let us have our brand and enjoy our bikes, have mine for 18months and still enjoy every ride. Ek is keelvol vir al die manne wat vir die fiets onverdiende kommentaar lewer. Ek het nie gister aand my mond vol gehad oor Spez se shock diens beleid en besigheid struktuur. Daar is baie fietse met external cables, Scalpel, Tallboy, Anthem rear cables.
leaboy Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Now if you followed The Hub on Twitter or Instagram you would've seen some more pics from last night's TWT dealer evening! Looking at it i can't help but think why not just get a Giant Anthem, perhaps i'm biased...
Disher Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 KTM = orange and white,..... yes yes its been said before but that's the way it is.... Momsen looks flippen nice though..
