The newly named 'Cotic Rocket' full-suss got me thinking...
What's the worst bike name?
I'm not a fan of the recent additions to the Spesh range... Camber, Carve etc. They're boring compared to the Spesh names of old.

I like Ragley Piglet as a name, it's kinda cheeky if you know what I mean.

I had a Maverick calle 'Grizelda' (spelt like that). Worst name ever.
I've also got a GT Peace 29er, 'smokin' since the 1970's' according to the decals... stupidly naff.. hippy bikes.

I really hate the Crosstrax bikes Halfords used to sell.
Mainly because we kept getting phone calls from people wanting to sue us for the shonky bikes.
I ended up writing letters to people explaining the bikes are not fit for purpose and that they should ask for their money back and get compensation. which annoyed the Halfords solicitors. lolPosted 6 months ago # -
childish names are great, weird names are great... what isnt great is when the bike is named to suggest is awesome... carrera 'fury' for example.

TJ - the manufacturers with those double entendre model names probably wouldn't see the likes of you as their demographic.Posted 6 months ago # -

Numbers as names are boring but functional, at least if they descibe a feature of the geometry etc.
