November 18, 201510 yr If rr is going to be a production bike as apposed to a "see what we can do" then surely vertigo have wind of an imminent wtc rule change, otherwise whats the point.Surely at such an early stage the ££s involved could be used to better effect elsewhere.Looks very impressive all the same.
November 18, 201510 yr Or they aim at (a little bit too fat) rich people which can effort, just riding in normal classes (like >90% of all riders) where the rules dont count? Why do people buy sportcars or ''offroad'' cars. Because they can (and like to) Edited November 18, 201510 yr by crazybond700
November 18, 201510 yr Fair point,but the cost of a Ti laden version would put it in a super small target of customers. The mont rr is already way expensive enough, what price the combat works?
November 18, 201510 yr I think it was no stop bikes who turned up at Sardent one year with a very trick 4rt. €20000 and they had sold some.... not for me
November 18, 201510 yr Fair point,but the cost of a Ti laden version would put it in a super small target of customers. The mont rr is already way expensive enough, what price the combat works? As long as they dont make too many. It is good for PR. Kinda like bugatti selling cars below costprice. (altough I wont expect them to be).
November 18, 201510 yr No I hope they wont, be daft at this stage of the companies life. Might be nice to have one just to admire spose.
November 20, 201510 yr Spencer is correct - rule 25.01 ... Sorry for topic drift but I am a big fan of 25.06 "25.06 The number of cylinders in an engine is determined by the number of combustion chambers" Glad we all got that controversy out of the way.... --Biff
November 20, 201510 yr Ah well........perhaps brought about by the split single? Yes, thats the reason. Rules must be strict and precise otherwise loopholes occure. Edited November 20, 201510 yr by crazybond700

More drift, 01.27 is a bit self evident (Starting devices are compulsory). 50.04.4, "Recovering energy generated by the kinetic energy of the vehicle is permitted". Normally a rule sets limitations, not permissions, but in this case it could be argued that hopping the bike is energy recovery, and therefore your are only allowed to hop an electric trials bike as this is not allowed by a rule for the gas engine machines.....this could go on for a while.
November 22, 201510 yr I know of at least one guy around here who could and would buy the Ti version and squeeze every ounce of performance out of it. So if Vertigo could sell one to every regional champion that's enough to justify production. I've also seen one of those $20,000 Montesas. Very pretty but kinda pointless. The guy who bought it is a dealer that doesn't ride events anymore. Buy hey, it makes him happy so why not. Life is short. Buy the bike. Edited November 22, 201510 yr by dan williams

The sport of trials needs titanium about as much as it needs to be regulated by Natural England! That trellis frame would still be a very attractive and functional if it were made from CDS or chrome moly. Edited November 23, 201510 yr by dadof2
