Sitting here drooling all over my keyboard ???? Pricing looks "fair", and not that different to previous year 2021 models. I am guessing there will be a lot of eager buyers putting their names down...
Spafsack Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Tnx for this, interesting reading...bit worried, paying almost 50k for a bike which weighs almost 15kg. They all do look frikken sick though, awesome. DieselnDust 1

R50k is still bucket loads of cash to pay for a 15kg bike, but compared to similar offering from the likes of Specialized or some of the other brands, I still think their pricing looks surprisingly competitive
Spafsack Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 I guess that's why second hand makes for sense nowadays..
DieselnDust Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 15Kg for a XCO/Downcountry/whatchumacallit bike... :bigeyes:????

According to their website my bike (Genius 950) weighs 14.5. Maybe for a small, without pedals and no sealant But my XL with a liberal amount of sealant weighs 15.7kg.

I think Nino's Swiss neutrality has come to an end because he's riding a tank into battle
Spafsack Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 D, do you think it's that bad for Nino...should the new bike be lighter, still think new technology must be lighter than old technology.
DieselnDust Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 I don't know whats going on with Nino. This new bike does appear heavier across the range. I would have expected it to be lighter than its predecessor since the shock is now internal and therefore a lot of the reinforcement around mounting lugs is no longer needed. It appears that they need to add weight to the frame to get it stiffer and stronger. The top of the line frame is in the ball park so Nino doesn't have this excuse

Make your own ship ... you need a peanut farm to run in conjunction with the raisin farm .... mix them and you have peanuts and raisins and the world will be your oyster!
Eugene Oppelt Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 Nino had a remarkable career accented by his gold medal in Rio and dominance in the sport for many seasons. The sun is setting on a very special athlete. Here and there will be flickers of the legend performing well and there’s no doubt that the next Great is rising, appearing to be the diminutive Pidcock. (Notice how diminutive the Lecomte is.) Hairy, DieselnDust, BuffsVintageBikes and 1 other 4
