strat-trials Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Anyone have any idea whats going on with them. It has been a while since anything has been heard. Just wondered if they were still trading, gone bust etc??I know the deal with Orange was supposed to be happening but nothing seems to have come from it.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewis.jackson Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm up for knowing whats going on as well. I did get told that they have stopped making frames but don't know how true that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat-trials Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) I heard a rumour that they weren't anymore but was unsure as it was only a rumour.The Raid XR seems to be a fairly catalogue bike. Not really in the same keeping as the Justice or ET which were a bit more specific. Also, its more of a cruiser jump bike where as I thought Ashton was more of a trials streety/natural frame manufacturer. We haven't really had any info on the new frame for a while where as normally you would expect a bit more hype surrounding it.Also, whats happened to the License?

boon racoon Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Martyn's column in this months MBUK (out in a day or two) talks of sponsorship changes in various sports/disciplines for 2008 and says he'll be giving his team news for 08 in next months mag. Maybe it'll be announced sooner on here?I'm sure it'll all be cleared up soon but yeah, they're still going to be making bikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm pretty sure there still going.Has anybody ridden a Raid ? I was quite surprised at how well they handled. They ride nicely, shame there let down by cheap components.Jarrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
