Yes they do work fast, that's their job. The bikes are not 'off' bikes they are going to be built from the ground up using high quality parts.
Yes your right, it's near impossible to build one do it all bike. And like another member said everybody has their own idea of the perfect bike. The bikes are intended to be a good starter bikes for newer riders. They That's why they are a 250 size. We do and will encourage modification of the bikes. And anyone who assumes that all of our changes to the bike are based on a single forum, would be incorrect. Most of the research comes from rides we talk to in person or over the phone as well as actual product testing from several people.
Our design team is made up of 4 people. Me, my business partner and riding buddy, an engineer and mechanic, and an avid expedition rider/mechanic
The dikes are very close to the same size is a klx250 ttr250 or crf250. There is only 3 colors on the bike black, green and some blue. They have Compass Rose hand guards\blinkers, C.R. brake and clutch levers, Front mounted warn winch, C.R. Rear rack and aluminum water proof and insulated containers, single head light with 2 aux. lights mounted to frame just behind the full skid plate and rock guards, all of the bikes also come with an axe, a shovel (both with hickory handles) a fire extinguisher and special compartment for a tool bag or first aid kit. The power plant for the Compass Rose Adventure (CRA400) is a air cooled single cylinder 420cc 10hp diesel engine paired with a manual 5 speed transmission. It has a chain drive to the 18" rear wheel. The front wheel is a 21" both have disk brakes. the engine is electric start with a manual start back up. The CRA400 will also use a goal zero solar panel the can be used to power the battery and 12v outlet as well as a USB charging port.
we will only build 4 bikes, which will be finished in the next few months, to be tested extensively in California. Then sent out a across the country with riders to be put through hell. Testing will take almost a year. The bikes will be available late next year. The price is still subject to change, but still around 6,000$
Tell me what you think? And I will be happy to go e more details just ask. =)
