Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 No sneak peak at whats to come?none that I can see. They've only just moved into their new place. The bike show in september is when it's being released.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Vipa Trail = Morewood somethingorother?I wouldn't think so. It's too close to production, IMO. And it'd be a cop-out as we already know it's a Momsen. More like Morewood = 140 plus, Momsen 90 plus. popcorn_skollie 1

popcorn_skollie Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Vipa Trail = Morewood somethingorother?I don't think so. Its a 29er. More like Morewood's hot older cousin who hangs out with them sometimes. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
popcorn_skollie Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) I wouldn't think so. It's too close to production, IMO. And it'd be a cop-out as we already know it's a Momsen. More like Morewood = 140 plus, Momsen 90 plus. Yeah they have deep roots in gravity orientated riding while Momsen is more into the racy stuff. Nice to see them come together.
