Review: Pyga Stage

Was it not 2nd week in April... I remember the black cloth... and I remember my look and then look I gave Pat and Mark when they removed it, and my reaction and immediate submission to major expense...

In June 2015, we huddled excitedly around a mysterious cloaked bike from Pyga Industries. We knew that under the black cloth sat an all new carbon marathon machine. As the craft beers flowed speculation grew wilder and the stories taller until Patrick Morewood unveiled the Pyga Stage to us, and the world.

Correct. 16 April it was. I think we got confused with the official launch date of the bike to the press, which was in June.

Did the longest ride the past weekend, and loving every m I ride on it.

Yoh guys. Last year at the BnB I spent the Friday just staring at the stage and the stage max, and was trying to figure out how to break my bike so that I could use one of them for the event as they were the back up bikes Pyga were supplying.. but my bike would not cooperate and remained bomb proof.[emoji39]

How would this rear suspension stack up to the older Gary Fischer Superfly (before Trek introduced the rear axle pivot mechanism). I am wondering if this bike still exhibits too much 'bob' when ridden with force, which then has to be controlled by a stiffer shock setting resulting in a too firm ride. I currently prefer the Horst link used by Specialised and the Maestro by Giant because it does control the bobbing well without compromising suspension travel

Looks like the perfect stage race bike . But no small ? 

I think it purely comes down to the numbers.

 

Carbon moulds isn't cheap.

Bike doesn't bob, I don't think the rear shock cable lock out is required at all on the Stage.

 

Best rear suspension is still the full floater on the One series, I struggled to use it all on my 110, vs my Max which I  can regularly use it all.

I've also asked for a small for sometime..

 

Just out of curiosity, have you ridden the bikes available?
