mike-dyson Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Why do companys do cheap knock off bikes the sameas the top end ones? Don't companys patent thair designs so others cant copyIts evenn got a hole in the head tube like a kamel!!Theres this one aswellGU Typhoon?I just think its a shambles that companys like monty and gu put hundreds of pounds into designing these frames and then companys come along and steal thair designs!

Daniel C Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Maybe because not everyone can afford a Kamel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisrzoo Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Theres nothing wrong with that because diff weight geo so you have a cheper bow ar the very expensive kamel i like the ko enyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Logan-Price Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I honestly couldn't care less as far as in concerned the consumer gets a very similar product for a respectable price, a shambles is how much monty/koxx charge for their frames.

Muel Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 The hole in the head tube of the Neon is f**k all like a kamels, and the kamel wasn't the first frame to have a hole in the headtube.I think that pretty much all the design options for trials frames have been explored now, why don't you try designing something new?

adam 94 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Also the ko bike came out before the kamel. And also they need good designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt-richardson Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 It happens all the time in other businesses, I'm surprised its taken this long to start happening in trials bikes and components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-dyson Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Your worried about that but your looking on TUK ? I think you need a priority check.There is a thread on here about ko bike which i searched on google and it came up with that site and i was just looking what they had, and what i was ment to say was why are they allowed to do this when people make such a big fuss about copyright and stuff like that?

A.Baxter Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 They not the same, they might look it but the geo and stuff can be completley different sumtimes. Also they are made of different materials which are stronger, like the kamel is made of a fairly weak aluminium to b light weight and the neon will be much stronger as it will be a heavier aluminium.
