BradJohnson Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) http://www.evanscycles.com/brands/onza Stole this from Nick Mannings Facebook status, but is this actually onza as in the trials company, or has another company stolen their name?

Mark W Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I expect Mike P's probably drafting an e-mail as we speak Onza used to be an MTB parts company before the Onza trials brand came about. I've actually got some ti Onza bar ends in a box at home... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Going off the names of the tyres I'd say it is Onza the trials company EDIT: For the reason Mark said Edited May 3, 2012 by isitafox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Beach Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Pretty sure I read in dirt mag that they brought the name or Onza licenced them the name to stick on their tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Even though the name maybe registered as ONZA TIRES, the tires themselves are questionable. For instance, the IBEX FR looks remarkably like a Maxxis Minion. http://www.onzatires.com/22-1-IBEX-DH.html Just came across this also, which suggests Onza tires to have been around before Onza in Nottingham - http://bikemagic.com/gear/onza-are-back-making-tyres.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Onza tyres is indeed a company separate to Onza trials. Marco Hosel uses one on his all mountain bike. I was wondering when this would come up Edited May 8, 2012 by Matt Vandart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeymoped Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 yeah i also read in dirt that a swiss company had bought the name to produce tyres, morewood think that they are good to put them on their dh bikes and a mate of mine has a pair of the ibex ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
