Finally!  The T-Ride is going to make it's re-debut in the USA again and the retail price has dropped from the 2009 model year - $8100*!

There are some "buts", however.  They will be available through pre-orders only and will require a $500 non-refundable deposit.  Orders MUST be in before 1 Jan 2011 - that's when the order will be placed with Scorpa in France.  Delivery is expected to be in February, 2011.  These bikes will be imported as off-road only, and will be available in all States except California. 

Will there be a second order of T-Rides?  That's unknown and will depend on the number of bikes sold in the first order and whether or not Scorpa can meet a potentially overwhelming demand.  So, bottom line is you can jump on one now or take your chances and see if you can get one later in 2011.  If you choose option 2, you may not get one this year.  If you want one for next riding season, though, you need to act NOW!  Call us at 801-773-3918.

Nobody else makes such a unique machine.  It's a hybrid trail bike with characteristics of a trials bike mated with the long-rideability of an enduro machine.  No, you're not going to go out and win the expert class at your local trials competition on this craft, nor will you be terribly comfortable jumping 50' tabletops on it.  What you will do on it, however, is have the time of your life playing in the woods, on the rocks, in the mountains, or in the desert.  Yep, the T-Ride will be the ultimate play bike.  Isn't that what off-roading is all about?

The heart of the machine is the Yamaha 250F engine.  Most everyone knows the good reputation of the Yamaha four-stroke power plant, so there's no surprises there.  One very cool feature, in our opinion anyway,  is the electric start (that means it has a battery!).  There's still a kickstarter on the bike, so you masochists can rest easy.  While the Yamaha engine probably means you'll be able to purchase engine parts at your local Yammie dealer, the rest of the bike is all Scorpa and it's likely your Yamaha dealer will give you that deer-in-the-headlights look if you go there asking for chassis parts.  It's still a Scorpa, mate! 

So, if you're looking for a mild-mannered fun-bike that has a low seat height, is easy to ride, and has a little more functionality than a true trials bike, this could very well be your huckleberry.  There's nothing quite like it anywhere else.  The things you can do and the places you can go will amaze you!  However, there is a limited number of bikes that can be shipped per container so if you have a genuine interest in getting your hands on one of these beauts, drop us a line and we'll put in a pre-order request.

If you're more interested in a no frills, fully capable competition-level trials machine with a seat and the ability to carry 7L of fuel, take a look at the Long Range option for the Beta Rev-3!
