Theunissa Posted April 19, 2023 Share On 4/18/2023 at 12:38 PM, The Ouzo said: South African distributors seem to be very secretive about new releases. I see it in the motor industry all the time. Info, specs, pics etc. are freely available via international publications, yet the SA distributor wants things to be kept Top Secret. Case in point. We have a car launching very very soon. International publications have done reviews and comparative tests like crazy. Locally there are pictures circulating of test units being driven on public roads, but the local distributor doesnt want any info etc. being made public locally. In the case of the bike in question, I would imaging BikeHub will play nice because if they dont there is a possibility of not getting access to future information etc. from the brand. Ja just like the new garmin 540/840 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that he is more of a Volksie guy, but its probably got an unmarked Porsche engine in the back! DNC and Scary Rider 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually an RS4 The van he sold years ago to save his company, but has since bought another one, which stands in the exhibition foyer of the head office in Morgan Hill. The Porsche he used to like running around in from his German offices o the other hand, was one awesome piece of machinery. splat and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted April 20, 2023 Share 3 hours ago, dasilvarsa said: The Trek is Very Limited in the Rear travel Dept. Spez is Full House. Don't Compare. What's the Trek - 80mm? When a softer tyre makes a noticeable difference to how the back end of a bike feels I suspect that 80mm is more than enough for most XCO and even marathon duties. BTW, "full house" is at least 160mm at each end in my book 🙂 Mtree and DNC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you mentioned it is quite popular among the XC and marathon racers. Edited April 20, 2023 by W@nted Headshot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted April 20, 2023 Share Having tried out a supercaliber, it feels more comfortable than it’s 60mm if travel suggests just like the old 2000-2005 model scalpel did. I expect the new Epic will too dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
