Sherco taking legal action

Posted on 07th October 2007 | Added to Links, Bikes. 0 comments

Earlier this week Sherco released this statement regarding the launch of “a trials motorcycle that is practically identical” to that of their own. I said back around the launch of the new machine that it reminded me a lot of the Sherco. It looks as though Sherco are preparing legal action so it’s anyones guess as to what will happen.

Xispa have released what I would consider to be “official” photos of their new X250R trials bike. There is also additional information regarding the bike’s spec, which is of interest. I have to say that although it’s not the most exciting of bikes in terms of graphics it has definitely grown on me. Really looking forward to finding out what they ride like.

Xispa launches new bike

Posted on 04th September 2007 | Added to Links, Bikes. 0 comments

The much anticipated launch of the new Xispa trials bike took place at the final world round this weekend in Andorra. First impressions are mixed really. I can’t quote work out whether I like it or not. The bike is manufactured in China and they claim will be significantly cheaper then other bikes. I can’t help but wonder what the quality of the product will be like. The overall look of the bike is quite simplistic. The graphics are relatively boring and the bikes isn’t exactly the most colourful of characters. It’s just very very black. It reminds me a lot of the Sherco really and the engine looks tiny.

I’m looking forward to trying the new machine out and it’s always exciting when something new like this comes out in trials. You can see photos of the Xispa here and here with a write up (translation).
