Newly Released Bikes General

[mike14]

Not really taking the P#$% at all - this is just straight basic conversion.. Our pricing has always been set at direct conversions of USD retails plus our GST ( with a decent amount of currency hedging pushed as sharp as it can be )
NX Alloy Smuggler USD is $4199 ( not tax yet added ) Correct currency conversion ( not XE which only shows plus our AU GST / import pricing etc sits it at $6999 AUD .... Unfortunately pricing has increased for pretty much everything raw materials wise, but in terms of US pricing v Aussie we are still pretty close in direct comparison.

Yeah that wasn't a crack at you guys.
I have an ok understanding of the import market in general (mainly out of EU for us) and get that your hands are pretty well tied. USD$4.2k for NX is steep, even with increased production costs

I know things are expensive worldwide, but I think we're just paying for fake US inflation, TBH.

The Prime frame for a tick under $3k is starting to look pretty tempting!

NSMB's review of the new(ish) Evil Wreckoning LS here.

Great read though, especially if you're sick of bike reviews that are 100% gush (cus this is not one of them).

That's a weird review.
Seems like he got the wrong size (should have been on a L, would have saved him 35mm on the seat tube as well), hated the build kit (and fair enough, Guides on a 'big' bike are just dumb) and had the worst climbing experience ever, but still liked the bike as a 'trail' bike despite that being where you'd appreciate a good climber...
Plus no mention of it being super-boost anywhere.

I know that North America and here are very different, but 64.5 degrees being too steep is just wild to me

Full internal brake line. No allowance for Aussie rear brake set up.

That counts it out for roughly everyone I've ever ridden with.

Still cheaper than an Actofive

That Reeb is hawt though, if I could get over the stupid name and was in the market for a new big bike it'd definitely be on the list.

I don't mind the name. It has a big pedigree riding the iconic rock of Utah, Arizona and Colorado.

Named because beer spelled backwards

Oh I assumed it was some amalgamation of 'steel' and 'steeze' which is piling on the yeeeew factor a bit.

That is awesome

Be still my bleeding wallet!

It looks eerily similar to my Turner Burner. That makes me so hard that the lady three tables over is wondering what's bumping her in the back of the head.

I just did the exact same thing. Read article, googled Prime Thunderflash, drooled.

Also: felt good about my alloy enduro bike with coil shock and ‘robust’ parts spec coming in lighter than some PB staff rides in carbon with titanium cranks etc…

Surprised at the weight of the Spire. Thunderflash is a bit a mix of YT and We Are One.
