MASSI (Spanish) carbon forks: anyone any exp or info

Post by redefined_cycles »

Can't reallyfind much info on em except they're from a Spanish cycling brand and made in Taiwan. Both ticks my boxes...

Anyone know anything about em or got any links. The fact they're sold on StarBike I assume says something of their overall quality. Thinking of em for the SC and Liams rigid ss-er on the highland trail has somewhat inpsired me to continue rigid (foe the mo.

I quite literally pondered over them Ton... but then some Rockshox Sids are only a few quid more (if I was prepared to wait for pay now and delivery when in stock) and I definitely know they're Taiwan made...

Jay, Yes, I believe I did see when Shand told Allen they could selll some seperate. Just didn't think the likelhood of em being much less than £300 was worth chasing up (plus, trying to make my 'no to China made stuff' as easy as possible so as not needing to enquire about origin of manufactuew too much... CRC already quite possibly got offended at my Q as it appears my Q didn't make it through the review stages so not showing on their site)...

Ton.. any idea where the Salsa FS fork is made pls kind sir... There should be some logo on em somewhere but probably a hassle to remove to take a look at the steerer...

I think SRAM bought them. Which leads me to think Taiwan... a plus plus for me

Yes.. all very very interesting. Wonder if they really are all the same thing.

Weights certainly don't match...

I've rented a lot of carbon massi bikes in mallorca over the years which have always been decent, and I think they sponsor a few really good XC riders (inc. the woman who has won the two races this season I think?). I'd be perfectly happy with them for a good value brand :-bd
