7 trials later on the Jotagas 300 - 7th Jan 2013

11/6/2012

 
I have now ridden 7 trials in England on the Jotagas. I have ridden in deep thick mud and deep water , where the observer said "keep to the right or your bike will go under". I have ridden in thick claggy mud that sticks everywhere and ive ridden in the dry.
I am extremely impressed with the bike. It is amazing and has improved my riding considerably.

Looking at the Jotagas after these 7 trials the bike still looks like new , apart from a little paint that has rubbed of the rear shock. This doesnt bother me at all. This happened in the deep muddy trial as the mud on my boot rubbed on the shock.You cant feel your boot touch the spring , but it must slightly.

The original rear tyre still has a clean crisp edge. I know ive mainly ridden on soft ground , but the excellent edge on the tyre is surely testament to the smooth power and the good grip of the bike.
I change to 400ml of gearbox oil after 3 every trials to keep it fresh. 
The bike feels so light and makes it so easy to handle The suspension makes the bike feel alive. I am about 13.5 stone and it is good for me.
The 2 tiny improvements i have listed here are easily completed at home.
If you want a bike that is pure quality , performs brilliantly and stands out from the crowd then buy Jotagas. You will not be dissapointed.
