A factory Husky ride for Billy Bolt and with Graham Jarvis as a team mate..! I can't wait to see what happens in the extreme enduro 2017 season. http://www.enduro21.com/index.php/extreme/1670-billy-bolt-joins-jarvis-in-husky-extreme-team

Yep, Vertigo need many more dealers around the country to make local top riders change brands. Like me, I'm sure our local expert riders like to support their local dealers, and If they don't sell Vertigo.. the majority will buy the brand their local dealer can sell and support. But best of luck to JD with GG in the future.

Hi, do you mean the regulator above the radiator..? Or where is the capacitor?

No never needed to use octane booster, It was just that one time when I purchased low grade petrol that caused the detonation problem.

Had mine for 8 months now and have used it at least once a week, I don't expect any problems to arise for the rest of the year. As far as the ECU go's personally I don't think much can go wrong with the sealed unit, its not really new technology these days. I run mine mainly sea level from -1* to 20* with out issues, yes you can feel the difference in the maps and I'm starting to use map 4 more often which makes the electric fan run more frequently, switching to map 3 gives it more fuel to cool it down again. In the past I've had to purchase 93 octant fuel which made it pink!! keep to the premium fuel.

I purchased a black number board from my local dealer and cable tied it on over the original plastic 3 pointed LED holder. It has a slight curve but it looks and works ok.

Here in the UK we don't need lights to become road legal, sorry I can't help.

Gale force winds means it has been delayed until 5pm Sunday. http://www.trialscentral.com/headline-stories/18626-lampkin-wheelie-attempt-postponed

I had a problem with the leather on my 7 week old no-stop boots. The leather was very poor. I did have to return them to the Alpinestars dealer where I purchased them from. Then they needed to ship them to Alpinestars HQ. About 4 weeks later i received a brand new pair... In the mean time i purchased some Wolf boots which i'm still using. I sold the brand new Alpinestars i received as the leather still looked poor quality. Good Alpinestars service, but the timescale of 4 weeks was a little OTT

Hahaha very true. "As always if new riders worry about making a fool of themselves when starting up competitions then take this as a boost to your confidence....It happens to the best of them."

Great stuff, thanks for posting them.

Personally I think both fuel injected 2-strokes mentioned have very smooth power delivery and there must be something wrong with my vertigo as it's defo not frightening power wise. But for a novice with 1 or 2 years trials experience a 200cc bike would be perfect to help give a novice rider confidence.

Imagine Billy Bolt's skill level with a few years experience..!

I could not make that trial, but I loved looking at the images. You got some fantastic action water shots.

I have never ridden an Ossa, but i guess they similar in respect of clutch feel and the way the fuel injection and ignition map is controlled by an ECU making it a very smooth power delivery. Unbelievably smooth throttle response when you get the opportunity to get the front wheel in the air, meaning I can now do extra long wheelies! For me the vertigo has improved my results.

My new bike came with Dunlop 803 GP's and the grip is fantastic. The rubber is soft, plus the side walls are very soft and they seam the wrap around the rocks. However, the first two times I went out the rear lost air, the third time I ended up using 8psi in the rear... It seems a lot of air but at 8psi it feels about the same as a X11 at 4psi. It still lost air..! I ended up putting a inner tube in the rear and running the both Dunlop's at 6 psi. Mounting a x11 you need about 50psi before it locates correctly on the rim. The Dunlop 803GP only needed 15psi..!

I have just received mine on Friday, but I'm still trying to get to know her a little better...!

"As technically they havent been proven yet" I would say they they haven't been proven at regular weekend trials in expert, clubman or novice classes, however, I would say Vertigo have been well proven at world championship level. Plus I would guess Vertigo team riders don't just ride their bikes once a week like most of us.

I think £5750 is ok for a bike with Pro alloy forks, Reiger shocker, diaphragm clutch. Not to mention the other new tech, like low cg petrol tank, fuel injection, electric water pump, adjustable maps ++.

Yes i understand the price is £5750

I was wondering the same!

I like to watch world championship trials on Motors TV, I participially like It when the commentator says the rider had a "catastrophe" instead of a 5!

Hi Andy, there's loads of trials around Consett and Weardale, no too far for you to travel

I was informed that, yes Vertigo are going to have a UK dealer network in the future. However not at the moment... 1. While the bikes have only been manufactured in the factory for a few weeks and they are in short supply for the worldwide audience. 2. Also at this moment without product knowledge or training dealers would not be able to carry out proper maintenance or servicing.
