New Trials Bike! Disaster!
Mike surprised me with a new Trials bike in the morning of the trial! He secretely loaded the van so I had no idea my beta stayed in the garage and there is a second hand but new to me Scorpa 125 2017 !
I rode straight from the van to the first section, and felt ok, but the throttle and power distribution is very different and I couldn’t reach the clutch lever so when I set of for the first section I was doing really well but then absolutely launched the bike at the top of the hill! We adjusted the lever so it is closer but then it was always too much in so the clutch was slipping! So I had an absolute nightmare to start with and I felt like I’ve only just learned how to ride a trials bike and all my control is gone. But I have to say the Scorpa feels much nicer, smoother, so as soon as I adjust the clutch it will be mint!
I am Monika Mixova and I normally race downhill MTB for Stif Mountain Bikes. I started to have a go at moto trials and I am a complete beginner. Mike grew up riding push bike trials so he is quite good 🙂

Beautiful bike, get a longer lever and move it inboard a bit. Enjoyed watching that!
Thank you for posting these trials videos. It is refreshing to watch riders more my skill level. Cheers!
@MM:
So it's your fault about flips hahahaha – after we passed and laughed at Hooton Sunday 11th – I went and launched the Montesa about 10feet in the air and down the rocks about 20 feet 🙁
I went out today and lost my confidence now 🙁
You could look into a slower action throttle which gives better control if you are finding the 125 too responsive to small movements. Did this on a 125 GasGas when my daughter inadvertently looped the bike at top of a bank. Was happier with slower action as bike wasn't then "jittery"
