BenGraham Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I even have an unused African buck name for the next model. The NyalaI think we should start naming bikes after politicians and mps. We can even theme them according to cabinet. For instance the gravity line can be named after finance ministers since they seem to be into rapid descents. I'm sure the Pravin and the Nene would be huge sellers while at least a few might be interested in the Van Rooyen. Oh and I forgot to mention that classic the Manuel.

Ryanpmb Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Yay! I'm glad that Morewood believed in themselves had enough trust slush fund money to jump back on the bus 4 years later!Fixed Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Ryanpmb Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I think we can expect a 140 - 160 mm duallie from them for starters. That should go without saying. It will no doubt tick all the right boxes in terms of modern standards. This. Targeting many of the latest PYGA offerings head on. Eddy Gordo, Hairy and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3
Shebeen Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 So essentially momsen is now morewood trail bikes, or is the momsen brand also going to continue?
rouxtjie Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 This. Targeting many of the latest PYGA offerings head on.Yep, also see it that happening. But then if Pat is involved, why would help design something that will compete with his stable
hayleyearth Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Yep, also see it that happening. But then if Pat is involved, why would help design something that will compete with his stable It wont I dont think....it will be for the 'entry level' (if there is something like that in riding still)... So Pyga's go for R70k+ and other one can go for R30-R45k bracket.... rouxtjie 1

NicoBoshoff Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Flip, this excites even me. Pretty sure they'll get the design right, now I just hope they spec them smartly so that people like me with mouths to feed can do more than just complain about how expensive bikes have gotten! Will be awesome if they can do a nice sub-R50k trail ripper with the basics in spec nailed Eddy Gordo, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Hairy 3

It might have to be very basic spec the way the rand is going, lots of deore comps and OEM cockpit. Oh well
rouxtjie Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I also knew thought there was some involvement from his side since I saw him post this ... mm.jpg....mmmmm good observation there. His choice of words seems like he isn't...If he was involved, surely he would have "seen", "be involved" with the new stuff from morewood. Anyhow...speculation.

Oh wellJa look, I'll gladly ride a bike with deore drivetrain and a cheapish wheelset if they can just get the suspension right. A Pike RC or new 34. Imagine they partner with Rapidé for components and rims... Thermophage, Hairy, henningvr and 1 other 4

They will have to think out of the box ito speccing the bikes if they are going to be successful. They are going to have to compete in the lower specced trance range, which is an insane value and capable bike.
