I'm heading over to France in the next few months; do you think I'd get a better price for a Spicy over there that from here in the UK?

Has anyone done this?

    Do a search and check prices. Simple.

    brakes will need swapping over and your warranty will be with the shop that supplied it.

    A friend bought a new Mondraker (very blingy) and I wanted to try it out. Riding up the trail was easy, turned round and headed down. At the bottom hit the brakes and found out that he rides with them the continental way. Interesting to say the least.

    Get one now and enjoy it now. I have a new Spicy and love it. Still need to provide pix though. Need evidence.
    Many happy trails!

    Prices are comparable to the UK..

    Any ideas where i can hire one for a test ride in the UK; not a car park 5min thing??

    Their big dealers will run demonstrators that you should be able to borrow if you leave a credit card deposit, just ring around a few.

    you can hire them at Glentress for a decent enough tester, i'd advise go for a smaller size than you might think.
