stranger English

OK, I'll get on the Money Mission right away. But first..


Diablow!

One thing about Japan is that bikes, as a rule, have names in English. For all I know, this could be a marketing thing throughout Asia, as I'm sure most bikes are imported from China or Thailand or something. And that probably includes DIABLOW.

DIABLOW
  • it's like a 1-2 punch!
  • Advanced Hull Dynamic. ..Because you want your bicycle's hull to be advanced. ..and dynamic.
  • blow away your calories 2 x fast!
  • kinda sounds like 'Diablo' which was a cool PC game and might mean something cool
  • takes awful bumpy blows with crappy dual suspension

Is it possibly an insult directed at the devil? Hey.. Diablows! Of course a little Spanish background helps with the insult. People should be careful with those kind of things.
