Phil Atwill and Vali Gröger on the Trickshot in Athens For the launch video we visited the "Jibb Master"
Phil Atwill in Athens. Together with
Vali Gröger from the
Los Hackos Crew they jibb, cruise and trick through the streets of Athens.
No half measures - A proper Jump BikeNo frills, high quality and yet inexpensive, these were the goals for our jump bike. A simple jump bike that meets the demands of dirt riders and pumptrack cruisers in terms of geometry, specs and handling equally.
Gyro-Mount
An integrated gyro mount on the frame makes it easy to attach a gyro to the Trickshot for infinite barspins.
Adjustable Dropouts
Adjustable dropouts provide a high degree of variability and the chain can always be tensioned optimally in any setup.
Clean Cockpit
A clean and simple cockpit was important to us with the Trickshot. So you will only find one four-piston brake, with which you are still able to throw X-Ups or Tailwhips but also have the speed fully under control.
Colors and DecalsThe Trickshot is available in the frame colors Safari (matte) and Venomblack (matte). As with all our bikes, the decal colors can be selected in the configurator. There is also the choice between a red and black fork casting.
SpecsUncomplicated, solid, high-quality. That was the main focus for the spec of the Trickshot. So you only will find parts in the configurator, which are well steeled for any tough session through it's stability and durability.
At the front, the Marzocchi Bomber DJ 100 mm is used. The Trickshot roles on Schwalbe Billy Bonkers and on 26" NEWMEN Performance wheels, particularly light and specially made for the Trickshot. The cockpit and the saddle come from Sixpack Racing as usual. The rear wheel is decelerated with a SRAM Guide T 160 mm.

Yes, it is a reasonable price. The frame and fork alone are approximately the value of the complete bike.
Someone smarter than me explain this.
These are sweet looking sliding drop outs . I like the bike because of this feature. Want to go SS .you can easily.
Many DJ bikes are single speed .
Quick release is silly imo. I prefer everything bolted down. Even if that adds a minute or two .
It's just not going to work. It was fine 10 years ago when our main bikes were all 430mm reach, but they jump is now too significant.
Make this same frame with a 440-460mm reach option and you'd take a lot of sales off Transition, Chromag and Airdrop.
What exactly on this bike makes it worth 1500 €? Even looking at the frame price, are the components on the full build put on at the MSRP? Why buy a complete bike then, if you can buy the components for the same price?
And the important bit here is that this is not a bike that would be the primary, one and only bike for most people. It would be the second, third, n+1 bike for a lot of us. Why don't we see any reasonably priced dirtjump/puptrack bikes being offered? It can't be THAT hard?
2x Billy Bonkers 50€
Cheap wheelset at least 200€
brake 50€ + 20€ rotor
chain 15€
crank 90€
handlebar 30€
stem 30€
grips 15€
saddle 30€
seatpost 30€
Now we reached 1500€ with relatively moderate prices.... and the frame is not even included... I don't get your problem @Primoz
Also, I have 3 bikes one of which is a DJ and it IS my primary bike despite the fact it is not used everyday and it cost near the 1800GBP mark. Comparing a mid to high end DJ to a low end road bike is like comparing bacon to cold ham!
