Translation...

Brand new race buggy with a high safety potential

In cooperation with the world's best pilots in the new Buggykite MAJESTIC was created. The extremely rigid frame peaks on the high speed and on the cross-rate can be achieved. The inward curved seat tube prevents the lifts of the pilot. Thus, an additional safety feature is the race for both drivers and for the ambitious hobby pilots.

The wide rubber pad on the footpegs to absorb the vibrations in hard use and thus offers a fatigue-free comfort for unadulterated driving fun.

Equipment / Delivery

3 x cad.Kat. BigFoot
variable-length adjustment
4-point crossbar
Footrests and adjustable straps with VibrationsßAbsorber
splash guard
Innovative seat with Gripptexseitenwand
Tailored seat tubes
Full stainless steel or carbon steel V4A electropolished with zinc and powder coating
Sizes XS, S, M, L / XL. When ordering please specify size pilot and pilot weight
Rear axle 150 cm
Weight 54 kg

Thanks for that translation, Rian, and I hope everything is working out for you. Man, that Majestic is a sweet looking ride! I wouldn't want to get run over by that for sure! Should I re-finance the house, or raid the retirement acct????? :rolleyes:

DAKITEZ - 31-8-2011 at 08:43 AM

looks like it leads the way to third place. Apexx was first with the curved side rails then copied by mg and now looks like libre got on the copy wagon. Mg also had the extra brace from the down tube to the rear axle for extra stiffness on their first version but now made the new version stronger so the brace was not needed ... I guess libre didn't get that worked out yet.

jellis - 31-8-2011 at 09:34 AM

Wrong again, if you look at the Hardcore it is wider in the leg area and narrow in the body area and has been for years. Jon at Buggy Kite Shop and i discussed this upgrade from the Hardcores idea and the Sysmic has had it for 3 or 4 years now. It would seem to me that by increasing the wall thickness on side rails you could get the stiffness but if you design it right then stiffness is there without a lot of weight gain.
Thank you for the translation Davis !
By the way duhkite, do you have to bash others products to make yours better?

van - 31-8-2011 at 09:51 AM

The war is ON!! haha ... :moon: can't wait to release my race buggy :singing:

I do not need to trash on other products. But I do need to make sure people are not mis-lead by your false statements. If you would have just posted a new buggy by Libre I would have said nothing, but you post "Libre leads again". I know most Americans are not up to date on all the buggies out there. Your little tricks and games to fool people into thinking Libre is the only game in town are over. So stop your games and I will leave you alone. Keep up your false statements and I will be sure to correct them for you.

BeamerBob - 31-8-2011 at 10:31 AM

The problem with this bickering is not so much the bashing but someone declaring that the product they profit from is best, or first, or anything like that. If you sell or make a product, you serve yourself and your potential customers best (and show some class) by touting advantages and innovations of your product. Just saying it is best or first, sends my BS meter into the red zone. Consumers and competitors (with a slight asterisk for corporate sponsorship) determine who is at the top of the heap in most cases. The truth is, every buggy mentioned in these recent buggy threads has great things to brag about that set it apart in the marketplace. Surely no one thinks sales are going to be made because someone on the forum says a particular brand or style buggy is "best". But it might steer a potential buyer to express in English or even better original text, the benefits and strengths of a new product coming out. Then it's all positive posts to follow.

jellis - 31-8-2011 at 10:36 AM

Well duhkite it sure sounded like your were trashing Libre products in your statement above. Do you think American buggiers are stupid and don't recognize a catchy post title? Libre has never been the only game in town as Peter Lynn was one of the first buggies and Flexi has been around a long time also. I am sorry you are such an angry little man and if it makes you happier to post your little weird statement,s then by all means go right ahead.

BeamerBob - 31-8-2011 at 10:49 AM

I'm with Dino on this one. Just a new product announcement would've drawn no ire from anyone. Saying "Libre leads again" is just flame bait and it worked.

jellis - 31-8-2011 at 10:54 AM

OK OK I changed it sorry

Powerws - 31-8-2011 at 11:03 AM

Well,...............:flaming:! Just trying to get the best buggy I can. Everyone has been very helpful but most of these buggies at to top level are similar. Some of these things are marketing as most things are. The other element is standing behind the product and representing it, and themselves in the industry. It's a small world:tumble: There sure is passion here about these buggies.:cool:

pyro22487 - 31-8-2011 at 11:50 AM

ooo a VTT race buggy when should we expect that. I also could not see the picture on their website so sorry can comment on how it looks yet.:no:

van - 31-8-2011 at 12:15 PM

It's a flash application so if your computer can't support it , you won't be able to see it.


Here's some pics of the Majestic from other sources...






pyro22487 - 31-8-2011 at 03:57 PM

wierd my mac usually doesnt have a problem. wow thats like a yatch of a buggy. its huge shippings would cost me a fortune.

mougl - 31-8-2011 at 04:42 PM

Looks nice but the proof is in the pudding so to speak :lol: I'd like to see a side by side comparison to the Apexx, the Aero, and the Sysmic. The thing that catches my eye is the rear. Both the Apexx and the Aero have extra reinforcement with the cross bars. Why did Libre leave those out? Looks good though...would love to take a spin in one to see how it performs. Certainly an improvement for Libre, interested to see how it does in races.

The rear cross-bracing only seems to have been left out of the pics with the buggy in ice configuration.

If you look at the first two pics on the Libre site there is cross-bracing. It seems to be an X pattern with an additional lateral segment at the top of the "X".

Sam

Name calling is not exactly what I am hoping to get from people I try to look up to on this forum ! :no:

I would hope that the folks on this forum that are representing products could keep things on a little more mature level ! :dunno:
:crazy:
