Anyone out there lucky enough to have the new Raga Rep and able to comment on the Reiger shock??
Interesting to see what people say.
Heard they are a lot of money so would hope that money is worth while.
-
Am guessing if there was anything different on Bou's bike it wasn't noticeable judging by the fact there is nothing mentioned anywhere.
Anyone know if bike any different?
seemed to ride it OK
-
From what I ca see it is NOT a Future bike it is a normal bike with some Future trick bits.
I'm not a Montesa fan anyway and cannot be bothered to cross reference the standard Mont with a Future Mont and then re-cross reference with this bike.
Anyway, who gives a rats @rse whose bike it was? It's not like a current WTC superstar rode it, won on it and had everything put back as brand new and it's still done the worlds longest and toughest trial.
Based on the fact that
a.the super-super Future Montesa price is around
-
Even the top top Gutrure bike is 'only'
-
-
Bl**dy hope so!
As someone else said you could get an 05 Mont, buy some stickers and pretty much make it look like a 'new' one.... Thats just lazy on Montesa's part....
Oh and I agree, that Honda dont need to spend as Bou is winning everything, however as a business, Honda (you would assume) will be making money from trials, however insignificant an amount so surely they should be looking at a new model by now....

Was 2003 and 280cc only - bit of a handful
2004 onwards was 300cc up till 2009 (tubular frame) when they offered the full suite 250,280,300
See a few 'Raga' reps on flea bay that are not Raga reps but just had gold painted swinging arm and cranks.....
If you're getting one always look for the Raga plate on the frame and the frame itself will be stamped 'Raga *****' on the left of the steerer tube.
-
So anyone got one yet??
Be interesting to see how the new Reiger shock works?
Looks like costs
-
IMO no...
Def not worth the extra they want now. Outside of colour change, the new shock and some bling it adds very little.
If I was looking I'd go standard and spend some

See link for the new 2011 Cabes rep.
form an orderly queue

When does this press embargo end from Gas Gas??
todotrial have bike on their site (do they not playby the rules?) and Gas Gas had it in Germany with Raga so surely they now want to allow people to see/hear about it.
-
As per title really. Seen write up on Front Page but nowt else on here...
Sounds like rain made it tough.
How were the riders/bikes etc?
Ossa went OK on 1st WTC outdoor round but Fajardo in same place as last year really.
Grattarola went well and had a solid finish ousting Brown.
-
Good spot! cheers for this.
-
I would guess they are allowed to ride the SSDT but would assume it comes down to 'do they want to do the SSDT'
It is not really going to offer them (factory or riders) a WTC style trial due to section layout, rules, length of each day etc + and possibly most important at this time, it is a long way to go for the Spanish / Italian manufacturers and at a very big cost to them whereby the trials you mention are effectively 'on their doorstep'
Would be great to see a full quota of WTC riders there though!
-
Awwww bless ya
Jeez cant believe I'm agreeing with Dabster again but - you're absolutely fine at Sheffield, you've ridden it and you ridden at british, european and world championship level and know what needs to be done, when and how.
Keep on going buddy!
-
Sorry France, not Andorra.
-
Whats the bets that next years bikes shoot up in price? never mid 'get the price right' What are they
-
Looks like they're going back to the old school to and only doing this as a 125 and 300cc like the early Raga Reps (think 2003-2007 was only 300) so no 250 or 280
Pics on todo trial website and I suspect elsewhere also
-
I've been with Bennetts a few years now.
-
You could be right there.
re: towns/councils - GOD KNOWS there is a UK mentality that motorbikes and events are bad. That gives our gentile sport a bad rep therefore getting permission etc to run a WTC round is lots of aggro. because motorbikes means noise, disruptions, speeding and trouble.
As for Fort William - I'm def not going for 3 reasons
1: its only a 1 day event
2: see above (and thats with Fort William having a good understanding of trials etc and laying on cracking events.
3: I'm 99% going to Andorra now - its a 2 day event, I can get and stay there for less than getting to Fort William, the trial will take over the whole town pretty much and atmosphere etc will be great and 100% trial for the whole event.
-
Think you're right there Tony27.
I think Ossa's sales have been good from the below but they are putting pressure on the local government to splash the cash or face the prospect of them shutting the factory and relocating. This way its not Ossa's fault as they will blame the local govenrment/council
-
So we kick off again this weekend in Germany.
Am guessing not many expecting to see Toni Bou overhauled this year, so 1st place is pretty much a given I expect.
But what and who do we think from 2nd down? these places consist currently of very well established riders with all of the major players (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th places) bar Fajardo having been on the WTC scene for 12+ years now so -
Will anything major change in 2011?
Will one of the Brits get amongst Raga, Fuji, Fajardo and Cabestany?
Will there be any mega stars emerging in 2011?? I personally think Pol Tarres will go big this year
Will anyone other than Bou even win a round in 2011?
Heres hoping for a good year.
-
Yea same here, my anticipation is growing... getting excited now like a kid at christmas
Still not sure theres enough about it to warrant the extra
-
Have these sheds made it to Scotland then?
-
Spot on Billy. I've got pics but then found out they're not yet releases etc
Looks great, Beta 2011 colours but VERY swish.
So I was right about 2011 : )
