Barbara Logan-Price Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 they do look cool but when are you gonna change the forks/ bar and stem on your bikes :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Bard, stem and forks let the better spec's models down.Apart from that they look good, still eagerly awaiting the Pro Series stuff though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Could do with some multi angled and close up pics so that we can the see the geometry and quality of build. thank goodness for the fork legs being shorter than previous models Edited August 13, 2008 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Trials 31 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 They look surprisingly good. What brakes are on the dual disc. Avids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 They look surprisingly good. What brakes are on the dual disc. Avids?there not avids, they look similar to the helfraud ones? i would consider buying the DD just to get my mod fix, a new set of bb7s and a tensile would make it full of win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe@Onza Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 They ar the Onza Duel pull Disc brakes. As seen on last years T-Bird but proved to be a success so thats why they have been fitted to other models now.there not avids, they look similar to the helfraud ones? i would consider buying the DD just to get my mod fix, a new set of bb7s and a tensile would make it full of win Tensile what?

Luke Rainbird Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Looking good May I ask why you've dropped the "T-" from the bike names?It really doesn't bother me, but it's the end of an era Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe@Onza Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Also, The see through grips are pretty good too don't you think?''T'' has just gone now........Stops the T-shit dis's. Ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-baby158 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I like the new comp, y is the pro dual disk and the higher range isn't ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Also, The see through grips are pretty good too don't you think?Not really, nothing to boast about.Also why bother with the 3 almost identical top models - just different brakes, and a drill has been taken to the rims (apart from the front hog on the 'blade') ??Because someone with a bit of sense would just buy the 'pro' at £440, as £110 more for the 'comp' is barely worth it as Maguras are quite shite to be honest - and you wouldn't get the disc hubs anymore, just someone whos taken a drill to your rims If you wanted a dual maggie Onza, it'd still make more sense to buy the 'pro' and fit magguras to it surely?I'm not trying to be a twat, I just think the price gaps between the top 3 models are a bit to much!But in all fairness they look really nice and good call shortening the forks.EDIT: perhaps make the stem lower next year, and the clamp interface 31.8 (as this would make it easyer for begineers to upgrade one step at a time ) ?x Edited August 13, 2008 by cai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) I want the pro frame soo bad! Will they be sold seperately, and how much? Also would Moore and Large still be distributing them?From personal experience, on hold and bite the Onza disc brake out performs my hope and many of my friends bb7's, the brake lever isn't the greatest in the world so change that and you'll all be sorted.They all look so good.I also like the fact how sticky fingers are only present on the Rip, its a good improvement to see every model with Creepy's as standard.

Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Not really, nothing to boast about.Also why bother with the 3 almost identical top models - just different brakes, and a drill has been taken to the rims (apart from the front hog on the 'blade') ??Because someone with a bit of sense would just buy the 'pro' at £440, as £110 more for the 'comp' is barely worth it as Maguras are quite shite to be honest - and you wouldn't get the disc hubs anymore, just someone whos taken a drill to your rims If you wanted a dual maggie Onza, it'd still make more sense to buy the 'pro' and fit magguras to it surely?I'm not trying to be a twat, I just think the price gaps between the top 3 models are a bit to much!But in all fairness they look really nice and good call shortening the forks.EDIT: perhaps make the stem lower next year, and the clamp interface 31.8 (as this would make it easyer for begineers to upgrade one step at a time ) ?xGlad to see you like them, (It's Joe by the way not Mike)Grips are pretty sweet because you do not have to buy a certain colour to go with your colour scheme. Have you ever used the porcipaw grips?Right, I knew someone would pick up on this, So here goes......These bikes are designed to go in any bike shop for any sort of buyer. From experience you would not beleive the amount of parents that phone up and say "I want one of those trial bike things with those sqeeky brakes, Mungara's I think you call them"So many enty level riders that do not know a lot about trials only look for whats stopping them. Thats why there are 3 models with different brake options. Non of them make more money then other, Its just how much they cost to make O.E.So a wise Trials Rider would see that the Blade is the best value for money model, but you are not hitting the general market. Good idea about the stems being 31.8 but this range was done on a shoe string this year, With all the price increases we had to take some sacrifice's. Like Alloy forks, oversize stem and bars etc.I want the pro frame soo bad! Will they be sold seperately, and how much? Also would Moore and Large still be distributing them?From personal experience, on hold and bite the Onza disc brake out performs my hope and many of my friends bb7's, the brake lever isn't the greatest in the world so change that and you'll all be sorted.They all look so good.I also like the fact how sticky fingers are only present on the Rip, its a good improvement to see every model with Creepy's as standard.Yes you will be able to buy the Comp frame separately (same as the Pro and Blade) Moore Large will be distributing them still and I think they will sell for around £179.

Abdab Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Nice work These are really impressive ! Like you said about the beginners thing. Parents ring you etc... Well seems to me new riders will defenatly be getting more of a professional bike than a starter bike. These are really good!Specs look cool and over all frame design is good! Idea of loosing the "T" is pretty awesome too, makes it sound more professional! Grips are also spot on! Not to mention how you've designed these with dual disc as well as magura option. Carn't wait to see the final production pro series frames Well done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Why bashplate and guard on the cranks ? other than that they look like a decent range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 bikes looking good.thank god for dropping the previous T-bird designs, they were really off putting for beginners i thought, the ex-t-pro frames on the beginners range seems so much more appealing.im surprised at the prices too they are not over the top, considering all (or most) 2009 bikes will see either a 25% inflation in price or same price as previous years but only with DOWNGRADED parts, and this is taken from leading manufacturers' price lists and spec. this is all due to inflation in fuel/raw material costs.... 2009 is a bad year for bike industry.but kudos to onza to bring out a good range for a bad year.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 £179 for one the framesin u6 with the integrated tensioners sounds like a bloomin bargain. gotta say they look a lot nicer than previous years. good job onza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
