mokwepa Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 It will slow the bike down if we are talking about top speed but it will make acceleration more aggressive. Acceleration is more important in trials riding as we need immediate response but we dont need fast top speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steffenland Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks for the feedback, what about build quality? Ive read multiple places that gassers tend to be brittle as glass, montesa honda are tough as nails and the rest of the brand somewhere between, is there any hold in this?

breagh Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Montesa/Honda are pretty robust,you'll notice that a 2nd hand one will cost about twice as much as a similar aged gas gas/beta etc. All the bikes are fine but you must maintain them properly and ride them as a trials bike. Go to trial ,see what they're all riding and talk to the riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the biggest two things to remember is like stated above "ride it like a trials bike" and periodically check all the nuts and bolts for tightness............

dadof2 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 The bloke said trail bike in his first post - does he really want an enduro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
