September 28, 201510 yr Crank cases are different,gearshift shaft exits further back.Clutch cover looks the same,as does the head and barrel which I think are S3
September 28, 201510 yr Cyl looks quite like the sherco/gasser so S3 seems logical yes. The proto typ had a gasser engine Edited September 28, 201510 yr by crazybond700
October 2, 201510 yr I don't think there's anything wrong with Vertigo doing development in the open. But the impression people seemed to have gotten was that when the bike was announced, it would be for sale soon after. The fact that its been so long and you still can't buy one takes a lot of the bloom off the rose.I was thinking that too. The Chevy Volt was talked about for years here in the states before it was ever released. So much so that people thought it was outdated and yesterday's product before you could even buy one. --Biff Edited October 2, 201510 yr by biffsgasgas
October 2, 201510 yr I think communication is key here. As long as potential customers know the bike isnt available until date x, and that only prototypes exist. Maybe show what problems occure in producing a trials bike and how they solve this. However opening up your R&D like that is not something people/companies feel comfortable about.
October 3, 201510 yr I thought it was a GG in a new frame thats what I heard from a top rider from GG at the world round in RI
October 4, 201510 yr Thank you for posting this! Not bad for his first ride on it huh? Not trying to be the wise guy here, but he said it was his first ride with the TRS on his home training grounds, so probably not necessarily his first ride on the bike. Still very impressive though.
October 4, 201510 yr Can we a bit realistic here. Anyone expecting him to say its rubbish we have been working on it for months ? It is impressive and i hope they sell well but its just pr speak.
October 4, 201510 yr Can we a bit realistic here. Anyone expecting him to say its rubbish we have been working on it for months ? Realistic? Every company has its own approach I guess, Dabill for instance, wasn't afraid to admit that they had problems with the development of the Vertigo.
October 4, 201510 yr Yes of course its PR. But, the fact that Adam rode the bike in the Tdn, and will finish the season for the Spanish championship on the new bike is impressive!! Interesing to hear his comments though.....and read between the PR lines. Motor very powerful, loves the new frame. There is a very interesting iunterview with Jordi on one of the Spanish sites too!
October 5, 201510 yr Realistic? Every company has its own approach I guess, Dabill for instance, wasn't afraid to admit that they had problems with the development of the Vertigo. where and when did dibs say this?
