Two other people have tried it and they couldn’t believe how sharp the delivery is, one said it was sharper than his 300 pro, maybe wrong jetting?cannot find carb settings to check it out
My mate had exactly the same problem and he was an accomplished rider. I will ask him if it was a 2011, if so it was the ignition being kokusan or not cant remember, give me a day.
Toby is wasted doing another year of Trial2. He should be in the TrialGP class where he would be plenty good enough and would gain the experience at the higher level
I think the thing to take away is that everyone commenting hasnt had 4 or 5 makes in the last two years to compare and have a very subjective view. 5 years ago i had gaernes, they were great but laterly i had wear issues, now im on styl martins, didnt get on that well with hebo or alpine stars.
As above fit and size is everything, try before you buy and ask different riders on different boots, and youll get a different answer.
We have them in Australia, general opinion is they are very nicely engineered compared to other Chinese bikes and the electric start is very popular.
Problem at the moment here is nobodies buying trials bikes due to floods, bushfires and Christmas and we are in our closed season, it'll start moving around February .
Gas Gas and Trs coming with electric start soon i heard.
There were 2 at the Len Hutty memorial trial in Nov,ridden by Dan Clark and his mate.Looked as capable as any other bike,maybe flattered by the riders skills but plenty adequate for a lot of riders.Still think I'd chose a year old model of the established brands though.Durabilty and resale value are unknown
Maybe another route will bring in more guys? If there was a middle class could that be a step closer for the top trial 2 riders and then the now trial 2 class could bring in more young riders?
which guys who are riding, but not riding wtc, are you talking about?
It seems we are leaving an era when top riders helped sell bikes and into an era where social media influences, FB, IG, YouTube, etc are more desired to help sell, promote, or endorse, products.
I think bikes are still being sold both new and used to some degree, but the number of people in competition is stagnate, if not in a decline. I see many people buying bikes to just free ride, ride trails, cross train for enduro etc. In the past most people who bought a bike joined a trials club and participated in or worked on/in events, currently more and more people are just buying bike to just ride, train, and have fun. Only the people who are really into trials are the ones competing now; the die hards.
It was posted on here earlier that the bikes must not be 'one offs' well I have never heard that before and I bet you can't buy any of the world class bikes.
Why not limit the G.P riders to only using production bikes, that would mean all the riders turn up at an event and use a bike from the nearest distributor, straight away you have slashed the costs of competing as the bikes would then be sold on as 'ex demo !'
as much as anything this would put Honda/Montesa at a disadvantage so any change like this would be resisted, and the prestige of honda in the game is something the fim wont jepordise.
Vertigo is different, nothing on that bike does anything better than the other brands. TRS is the one that has made the most progress. A better bike, and the numbers sold worldwide proves it.
what progress has trs made since the 07 bike, their first?
I think the bike has zero to do with any of this. Sure, Honda can throw more money at the bike, but if the bike were the deciding factor Fuji would be on the podium every round. We all know trials is 95% rider. Bou trains hard to stay where he is. So does Fajardo of late, and look at the resurgence he's had.
The minimum weight limit is constantly trotted out as some sort of Honda conspiracy. Well, here are some other things prohibited by the rules, and I submit that if they weren't in here, it doesn't take much imagination to envision what Honda might be able to do that none of the other manufacturers could without going bankrupt.
----------------------------
- no supercharging
- no telemetry
- the use of titanium in the construction of the frame, the front forks, the handlebars,
the swinging arms, the wheel- and swinging arm-spindles is forbidden.
- no CF for handlebars or rims
- no ceramics
- electronically controlled throttle valves are forbidden
- the overall width of the tyre when fitted must not exceed 115 mm (plus some other tread block spacing, etc rules). They also can't be one-offs, they have to be available for sale to the public.
- some rules around permitted fuels, octane, etc.
-------------------------
It is a honda conspiracy as it is set higher thatn the Gas Gas trs lightweight set up.
More importantly from its instigation it has never been properly enforced or monitored.
Strange you mention spindles as ti was banned but honda/montesa have continued its use for years.
"and left a amature (sp) sport run by volunteers trying to play catch up to them remember they get the cash the sport dose not" (correct spelling doesn't)
Been thinking is the real problem the PROFESSIONAL/SPONSORED RIDER , Being able to train 100% of the time have they just simply out grown the sport of trials thus killing WTC along the way. and left a amature sport run by volunteers trying to play catch up to them remember they get the cash the sport dose not !
Total rubbish. There are only a handful of riders who earn decent money, the factories are paying them for a reason? How that spoils anything for club riders im struggling to see the connection.
Gasgas 2011 250 power delivery like an on/off switch.
