Well Eurobike has officially kicked off for 2009, the Morewood team is a little split up this year with Eurobike and World Champs on the same weekend, Pat [Mr Morewood] is in Australia supporting Nathan Rennie and Mitch Delfs [more to come on that later] while Richard Carter is playing Mr Nice guy with the Euro’s showing off some of the latest Morewood product.

There is not too much excitement expected this year from international brands as far as new products and releases are concerned, aside from the SRAM XX group which for most is old news by now there is not too much else on the horizon for the show, Morewood are debuting three new frames at the event however including the Zula and Kwela, their official entry into the XC/ Marathon racing market. Now for us in South Africa this will not come as much of a surprise seeing as Roan Exelby and Dave Lieman have been racing aboard these frames with great success for most of the season, but for the Euro’s this will certainly turn heads, especially seeing as Morewood is viewed very much as a niche, core brand within their riding circles.

Now that Eurobike is finally upon us there is a fair amount of information which I will be at liberty to release regarding these Marathon/ XC frames from Morewood. Expect an “official” press release detailing information, geometry, pricing and ETA later today.
