MomsenBikes SA Posted September 17, 2018 Author Posted September 17, 2018 Thanks for the updates. What is the estimated frame weight for size 1?Is there a rubber cover available for the top tube storage?Last one, do you know of any review`s, frames going out to industry testers? frames were around 2.1kg before final production, will weigh them on arrival and update the website. the frame is designed for endurance events so weight , whilst important to some, was never the defining goal. the top tube does not get a cover as after our initial tests we found it is not easy to Unclip a Cover and replace it whilst riding. We have instead developed a custom bag that fits into the frame and can easily be opened/closed whilst still moving and riding. will post some pics later today as the bags have just arrived in SA. last one - first batch is very limited so there are no "extras"for industry yet. this weekend we had Team Imbuko/Momsen riders on their prototypes with Dylan getting a 3rd in W/Cape and Marco winning in the E/Cape. Bikes are out there ...

MomsenBikes SA Posted September 17, 2018 Author Posted September 17, 2018 some pics of the ULTRA bag in the top tube. basically fits into the shape of the frame and attaches via 2 standard bottle cage bolts in the base --- similar to what the triathletes do on their bikes but this is INTERNAL as opposed to ON TOP. zipper is user friendly and easy to use whilst still moving and riding.

Bloody brilliant! So many negative comments on this thread, it beggars belief. Kudos to Momsen for creating what looks to be a functionally great bike across so many varying MTB target groups. This bike has be interested - now only if I needed a bike...
Eldron Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 It has a threaded BB! Winner winner! That was a fine decision.
SwissVan Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 It has a threaded BB! Winner winner! That was a fine decision.Don’t you want to open an EU dealership and then I can buy one from you?
Eldron Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Don’t you want to open an EU dealership and then I can buy one from you? You laugh - that's exactly the thought I had. This bike ticks almost every box I have for MTBs. I wonder if Momsen want a Euro agency/contact?
SwissVan Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 You laugh - that's exactly the thought I had. This bike ticks almost every box I have for MTBs. I wonder if Momsen want a Euro agency/contact?Last week their website said they are looking for international dealers.
DieselnDust Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 It has a threaded BB! Winner winner! That was a fine decision. agreed! that's the best part of the new bike. I think they could have done better than fill the top tube storage with a bag, like maybe a sliding cover held closed by a rare earth magnet but lets hope they develop the idea further and find a good working and aesthetically pleasing solution

MomsenBikes SA Posted September 17, 2018 Author Posted September 17, 2018 would love to know just how tough the rating on that head-tube junction is ..... looks like something you can clamp a triple crown onto +52% stiffer than the current frame ... it was quite a shock when we ran our testing on the rig!
