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.

Piglet
Raleigh Banana.
Tomac Eli.
Makes it sound like an Amish farm worker.
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.
Ragley does it for me.
Bandit is a bit suspect
Kona WoohookooeyIamoverherelookatme
I am sure there was one called something like that. It must have been the one with the long top tube.
Tomac Eli.
Eli is Tomac's son.
handjob.
I really dislike all the double entendre type ones
stiffy, Prince Albert and so on, childish
Eli is Tomac's son.
I know.
Still Amish
bloody misogynistic if you ask me TJ!
Don't some people ride round on a stifee?
Orange Five.
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. lol
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.

Do the people who come up with these names ride bikes ?
At least with Orange is mostly numbers - not too offensive.

Raleigh Banana.
It's proper title was Raleigh 'TEAM' Banana and I loved mine like you love a puppy or a sibling.
Anything by Rose bikes...who comes up with those names?!?
TJ - the manufacturers with those double entendre model names probably wouldn't see the likes of you as their demographic.
Penny Farthing.
Pure marketing hype, they cost four pounds eight shillings and sixpence.
turn it around what would you call your own range of bikes;
Cyclo-cross

All mountain full suss

Ibis Tranny. It makes it impossible to talk about riding one, swinging a leg over one and any number of derivatives there of.

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