Where are the German bikes?

[Bateleur1]

I was told once, that most of the German cars and car manufacturers we love today were the backbone of German World War fleet and artillery "driving" ideals which are against everything a proud South African should stand for.

That particular person vowed never to drive one of their vehicles.

 

I was born way after all this, so I just smiled and nodded, taking note.

 

Are there any such concerns when it comes to German bikes

 

Trump?

The American automotive industry have punted the 'Jap-crap' tag on Japanese cars after WW2 as well. The main motive was that American car makers could not compete with the Japanese cars on pricing and production capacity. Consumer boycotts are damaging in the long run (Except when it comes to boycotting Silverbacks of course. After seeing the Monkey's attitude towards other brands I would not ride one even if you give me one for free).

Probably could've contributed in a more meaningful way but it's Friday and I just don't wanna. But now you know.

Bought a Cube Hardtail 18 months ago and pretty sure my next Road Bike will be a Cube as well.

So in a nutshell... there are a lot of german bikes out there... some more desirable than others and some that just fly under the radar because most don't know they are german!

But the Silverback is by far the best one out there!

Silverback Sesta 1st, as long as all the other brands can be 2nd!

Maybe will have to trade in my bike to see what the Silverback is all about.. or maybe N+1... for now will stick with my Niners

I don`t think so this is very good publicity

Hot damn! The new Spectral CF's are good looking! That arrow straight chainstay is quite alluring.
