hgas Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 From the teaser pic it looks like they've nicked the front light straight off a jotagas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasthatchgas Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 So are we thinking they will have re-invented the wheel? Carbon frame? upside down engine? Diesel powered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot 3 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Disagree mate, that frame design is unique, steel trellis at the top, aluminium lower parst, nothing else like that around just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 My first impressions are that the team who worked on it have done a fantastic job. I suspect it is going to cost a few bob though as the mention of a Vertigo club suggest to me they are looking at the top end of the market. Lets see ..

gasgas249uk Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Its not blatantly clear what the difference is between the 2 models other than the styling. I expect the engine performance will be very nice and the best bit about it. The whole package reminds me of the Ossa - a little. "The gear box has been tested for two years" - probably in another manufacturers bike lol. There's nothing that justifies a crazy high price other than the desire to make their riders exclusive. Bearing in mind the amount of new bikes sold most riders are exclusive anyway on what ever brand they ride . Overall - very nice but no WOW for me , but i expect to much , as well do , given the hype Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodie2 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Looks very nice to me. Nice mix of conventional features and innovation. First thing I wondered was are the guy's at HOPE involved in this? Colours, graphics, and engineering are all very reminiscent of HOPE MTB products. Dougie has links to them, doesn't he?

shedracer Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Looks ok, I'm sure the guys at Vertigo are proud of their new bike. Sure it will ride real good, but I think the rear mudguard looks a bit old fashion. Good luck to them though, hope they succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neils on wheels Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Its not blatantly clear what the difference is between the 2 models other than the styling. A quick look at the brochure shows the white one (Ice Hell) lists as 63Kg, has the gold Tech forks & titanium exhaust 'manifold'. The green one (Camo) lists as 66Kg, has the black Tech forks & stainless steel exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Looks something special not sure if 4 different maps and 31 hp might be too much though Any news on price looks like a bike for very talented riders with deep pockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
