Trials bike parts/service Melbourne

Postby singlespeed » Sat Apr 02, 2022 6:55 pm

Of the big brands sold in VIC which of them has the best parts availability and support/service? In searching for a new bike this seems more relevant to me than the “which bike should I get” question as they all seem so close performance-wise.

Looking at:
Sherco
Beta
Vertigo
Gas Gas

Agree, choosing a bike because of support is important.

All those bike will have dealers in Melbourne. The other thing to consider is a lot of common parts are shared (for example braktec brakes are used on all but Beta).

I was nervous about this when I started but in the 3+ years i've been going I've either figured it out or people at Oakleigh MCC where I am a member have guided me in the right direction. In my time I've owned Vertigo/Sherco/Scorpa/Oset which include my kids bikes. All have been fine with no long wait time for parts whenever I have needed them. Also, I do a lot of online orders as well and tend to now have spares at home in advance of when I need them (e.g. levers, chain links, frame & fork guards). Over the phone help from dealers has also been very useful.

In short, there is no one brand you listed that I would steer away from because of lack of support. If you are joining a club, have a chat with the members and see what is popular and why.

You've left out TRS - and we have the best bike, parts and service of the lot!
I run a Trials specific business in Sydney (www.thehelteam.com) - We carry spares for all brands, but specialise in TRS and Gas Gas and I believe service and support is paramount. Check out what we offer at: http://www.thehellteam.com
We have a number of Victorian dealers of our brands, and most things are available to be sent same day, either through the state dealer, or directly from us in Sydney.


We can crate and freight bikes Australia wide for very reasonable rates. Ring or email with your location for freight quote.
