November 8, 201114 yr Pol Tarres in the official rider The bike looks sweet. Available in small numbers i understand. My order is already in.
November 8, 201114 yr Looks superb, Certainly got a little bit of every current Trials bike in it! Rear shock location.... Hmmm, Yeah Like it, can't see anything wrong with it there, It's away from direct mud and water from the rear wheel. How would it take upto a rock slammed into??? GasGas249 will tell us when his comes! Will there be Flex on the swingarm from the Shock being side mounted?
November 8, 201114 yr Yes, but will it blend? Looks like a bit of Beta Evo going on at the front 3/4 there. Looks very light, is it? Looks like a ridge down the frame, that's gonna be uncomfortable. Looks like the rear shock arrangement is begging for a side impact. Looks as if that rear shock set up is to remind you to wear boots when you ride...imagine getting a nip from that spring? Looks good !
November 8, 201114 yr 7.5/10 was expecting something better looking. There are too meny edges, not a thing of beauty like the Ossa.
November 8, 201114 yr Not different enough to justify any extra cost? Pricing will be the key? Just think with spain in deep financial do do 5 million unemployed(21%)is this the time for a fight over customers, will they sell enough for it to be viable?
November 8, 201114 yr Not surer about the position of the rear shock, could see some problem with catching your boots etc. Still it was presented when promised.
November 8, 201114 yr Monty , there arnt any rocks down here , just mud and roots.I get your point though. I think and hope itll be fine Re the bike - I love the design overall.Its got a beautiful frame with good lines and the quality looks great . To me it needs to shout its brand more with a different colour scheme. Saying that the colour scheme looks good . These are lowish quality photos and the colours are off , but we cant expect any more on the day of release within 30 mins of release , can we. Thanks to Steve for sorting them out. Im 100% sure itll pop more in the flesh. Red always looks great against white. Its not a daring colour scheme though - but do people want that? Where are they hiding that petrol tank?.I think the exhaust front pipe will look better in the flesh when you can see the welds like the Ossa.Its not chrome and thats a bonus. Ive heard that it will weigh 64KG. Will it be fuel injected? Hopefully easier to start than the OSSA. Would have prefered a tiny tiny silencer.I know there is back pressure and thermo dynamics to consider , but Sherco seem to get away with it. Surely theres a weight saving there. Overall , its a great bike. I think looking at it , the price deserves to be in line with the normal bikes - Gas Gas Beta , but i think theyll ask Ossa money Does it rock the Trials world like the new OSSA did ? - not quite as much me thinks , however the fact that Tarres has designed the bike and its niche in small numbers makes it desireable for me. Releasing quality studio photos asap would be a good move Edited November 8, 201114 yr by gasgas249uk
November 8, 201114 yr Author Seems a very user friendly design with ease of maintenance and simplicity in mind. Its not fuel injected but has a Dellorto carb.
November 8, 201114 yr I have seen on the web today that they have announced Pol Tarres as their rider for 2012. Not a great surprise I guess, but an indication they will be supporting and probably hoping to win,the Junior WTC. Edited November 8, 201114 yr by Neils on Wheels
November 8, 201114 yr Very Impressive. Innovation + proven ideas. Congrats to Tarres and team. Shock looks like it could get warm.
