Shogun Gimp


mountian goat

Recommended Posts

hey starting out trials and looking to buy a shogun gimp (the name puts me off)! i was wondering is it correct starting at a mod or should i choose stock, also what do you think of the actual bike, i have found it for £199 so hopefully i cant go wrong. Also if 20" is not right for a beginner, i have found a Saracen mad 2 six for £170 which is worth a thought. cheers!

Maybe try finding a second hand t-bird or t-pro ? Better spec ect.. 04 models if possible, you can pick them up for around 200 mark !

Shogun gimp isnt anything amazing, comes with vee's ect. ( some vee's are better than maguras, but shoguns stock vee's aint )

Look for onza, t-bird, t-pro or t-mag is my advise !

can u tel me what i should start with, stock or mod?

That's a decision you will pretty much have to make yourself,I rode mods because I am only small and I can ride them better. Try to have a go of a stock and a mod to help you decide which you prefer,obviously you can only do this if you know people who have them.

I haven`t a clue what the cranks is, Yea im the 06 one its ok, good luck with it

keep us informed how you get on

ah cheers mate, one more question, if you look closely on the bottom bar on the frame it seems theres some sort of bolt, is this for a bashguard? http://www.factorydirectbikes.com/bikes/shogun_gimp_2007/

Also have you removed the "gimp" from the frame, i will as soon as i get it :rolleyes:

I think you should start on a stock. I have an Onza T-Rex for $650 U.S. It's in the bike pictures thread. Shipping could possibly be a problem, but we could figure it out. It's a very short stock and I think someone at your height would do well on it. When I was that height it was perfect. That's really the only reason I'm selling it. It's too short for me.
