The final production version was only shown at the Paris Motorcycle show at the beginning of October. Homologation for Euro 3 is still being processed so none are on sale yet in France. They are ages off here because we need the Euro papers before we can start ADR complance.
One pre-pro model was raced in the last Maxxis Enduro cross round in America, straight out of the box, with great results (qualified second to David Knight) . Details can be found on the Scorpa France and USA sites.
I am busy building a new website for The Hell team and Scorpa Australia, so I have been neglecting minor updates the last few weeks, but I will post any details on http://www.scorpa.com.au as soon as I have any news.

I love this bike, i hope they get compliance here,and will seriously concider one....

as i love how light a trials bike is ,and its ability to climb stuff, but i realy hate how they are not regoed, and you are restricted to the same places all the time.

Haveing basicaly a trials bike with a seat and rego is great, you can go and ride anywhere with no problems.

heres the video if anyone hasnt seen...

Still jumping through hoops! The side reflectors are a PROBLEM and have to be changed apparently! Work in progress. Wish me luck fellas.

What tyres will you use as Trials tyres are "not suitable for highway use"...
Is it likely to be geared higher than it's rock climbing counterparts?

hey paul, what is the go with trials tyres on a trail bike?

im fiting a rear to my XR250 soon, and i do ride it on the road a fair bit.

are they suitable at speed? i ride out to menai from revesby and sit on 70kph most of the way....will a trials tyre be ok?

[The Hell Team]

Your trials tyre will be Ok Mr MazdaMan, just not at Trials type pressures. Make sure it's inflated to more like road riding pressures (not the 5psi you use for Trials riding). Deflate it when you ride in the bush, and bump it up for the road on the way home. You'll just need a small pump and guage in your bumbag or camelback.
