Looks like GG is competing with the Chinese market by the hideous looks of that thing. Beta used to make an entry level trials bike called the "Alp" and they offered a "long-range" kit for it that replaced the stock tank and seat with a larger set-up. It looked much nicer than this thing (and in person).
WTH

One of the problems of the Pampera was Intermediate and better riders would buy them and ruin them because they weren't built to handle strenuos off-road riding. Then they would bi** about the poor quality of GG bikes in general because of their experience. This bike appears to have a Chinese made engine (someone correct me if I'm wrong). It doesn't even have a full perimeter frame (the engine connects the forward half to the rear half of the frame). Anything more than logging roads and it doesn't appear this will hold up well. And will again get negative reviews because of it. Show me a long-range kit to put on one of the REAL trials bikes. Then I'll be impressed.

I've been to Salida CO if that's where your talking about but don't have a house there. In a year or two I plan to have a cabin in the San Isabel forest in CO.
Why do you ask? |

I hear a lot of times that a manufacturer should build a cheaper entry level bike for new riders. I disagree. That is what the used bike is for. I do think there is a market for a new bike for vertically challenged riders, though. We may tackled that project with the factory in the future. Clay |

That is a very cool beginners bike and it's also good for the trial sport, as many riders dont buy a trial bike coz it's a one purpose bike + there is no seat on a trial, this bike offers a true dualsport trial bike, you can ride it everywhere and in two seconds the seat is of, and you can ride trial, snap the seat back on and ride it back home..
Just like the pampera, It will never be a real trial or a real wood bike, but you can do both on it, and the design is pure genius, the pampera had the trials engine and suspension, but this also have the shape of a trial bike, ones you snap the seat off. I'm not sure what that engine is, but i was hoping for a bike like that with a real trial engine, but if it's true it is a yamaha, and it sure looks like the one on my sons ttr90 and that engine is really strong, amazing what that bike can do.. but it is a really heavy engine, so.... I'm still hoping for that bike with the 2stroke trial engine...
