Iwan Kemp Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 Anyone notice the new Jabula on Morewood's site? http://bc905dbd4937d931353a-16c6d58995f60c2b225c8e6c8e81c6d4.r52.cf1.rackcdn.com/jabula-wallpaper-3.jpg

enjoi Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 I'd love one of those sukuma's!! Damn that's a HOTTIE! Anyone know anything about the 650b Zula?
Jaco-fiets Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 You guys are passionate about morewood and it is great to see. Does this come from that fact that it is a local brand or is it because it is a great bike? You guys will probably say both but how does this brand really compare to major international brands?

Does this come from that fact that it is a local brand or is it because it is a great bike? You guys will probably say both but how does this brand really compare to major international brands?You're right, it's both! Seriously though, it's up there with some of the best of them. My Mbuzi is still one of the best bikes I've ever owned. The fact that Mr Morewood was involved himself does raise my passion for the brand and the fact that Morewood was born and bred locally helps even more. My passion aside, if you look at the international reviews they are always good - and those guys couldn't give a hoot where the bikes hail from. Makulu is a legendary bike on the private DH scene and their FR bikes are not far behind. They are built tough with looks to match, easy to maintain with a nice bunch of people on the other side of the phone. What is not to like.

It is great if a local brand is considered right up there with the big boys especially if its internationally acclaimed as well
DR ◣◢ Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 My Mbuzi is the best bike I've ever owned. Full stop. Spoke to a few people, looked at some photos and took a shot in the dark when ordering the frame. Being a local company allowed me to get advice straight from the factory. 100% spot on advice that no salesman would ever be able to give me no matter how well he knew the brand. Top notch company.
