chimpanzyyyy Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 as far as i was aware koxx dominated the competiton world............not anymore...the last frames and bikes from atomz,mbk and ozonys are as good and sometimes better than koxx... maybe the geo is sometimes more "elites" on koxx but parts are alot better on other brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 That continential Rubber Queen tyre is looks to be newest/latest choice for 2009 with all the positive feedback from the various test pliots, when will it be availiable here? I guess giaco will get better support from from his new sponsor...why he went back to koxx after originally leaving them years ago is a bit of mystery.

basher Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 not trying to put down atomz but as far as i was aware koxx dominated the competiton world............ so why the move ?the problem with koxx and i believe this is why kenny belaey left, is that you have to remember vincents dads owns koxx and therefore hes going to favour vincent more and wants him to win really more than any other rider even his own sponsored riders. Dont know if this was the same reason giaco left or notbe interesting to see what atomz come out with for the new frame, sadly i bet it will be high bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess giaco will get better support from from his new sponsor...why he went back to koxx after originally leaving them years ago is a bit of mystery.Hardly a msytery, coust's designed their own bike, and had it made, their dad was their manager, I expect they went back to koxx when business slowed down and perhaps koxx said they'd make them a pro model. Koxx did, and then gilles moved onto the hydroxx which seems to be 'his' bike (he rode the proto) I havn't seen giacomo on any new proto's, so perhaps he got a bit pissed, in the same way that kenny did because he wasn't getting what he wanted - not in a pissy kid way but more in a 'In fairness i'm as good as if not better than your son, stop favouring him or i'm gone to a company who will give me what I want,' way.
