Bike Hub Features Posted February 3, 2017 Share In 2017, we're introducing the Bike Hub long-term test fleet. We'll be putting these bikes through their paces as we would our own bikes for an entire year, documenting the highs and lows along the way to give a more thorough and practical review of the bikes. The first bike to arrive is the Momsen VIPA TWO. The delivery caused a ripple of excitement in the office. Workstations were deserted as we unboxed: ooohing, aaahing, analysing the extent of the “yellow”, weighing components, and generally ogling this shiny new race weapon.Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiarC Posted February 3, 2017 Share If you are paying R62k for a mtb.............they can at least have a remote lockout on the rear shock! NickGM and Pieterlab1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 3, 2017 Share If you are paying R62k for a mtb.............they can at least have a remote lockout on the rear shock!For me that comes down to preference. Personally I prefer the fact that there's no remote lockout on the rear. Having it on the front makes a lot of sense for those last minute situations (when you forget). But not having a single lever for both means you can independently control the lockout on each. And a separate remote lockout for each would just mean a cluttered cockpit! nathrix, YUMEYA, Eugene Brown and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackwing Posted February 3, 2017 Share Still fugly, and stupid. Buy a Pyga 110 or Banshee Phantom, Specialized Camber and you will have a bike that can climb as well, and rape the Vipa on the downhills. Pointless bike.. don't waste your money here on a Momsen JFOXK69, BaGearA, WernerGerber and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointless bike.. don't waste your money here on a Momsenyou forgot to add "in my opinion" In my opinion you cannot even come close to comparing a pyga 110 and a banshee phantom. maybe an epic Danger Dassie and Kylie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted February 3, 2017 Share Such hate at Momsen?? I like the look of the Vipa and spec seems okay. Price is of course ridiculous, but then the competition mentioned is the same. How much is a Stage or Camber or Epic? Tatt, Pieterlab1 and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
