Really reminds me of the old style Bubble that.

Well done to the design team. Really captured the likeness

No bubble sticker?!?! Travesty... Well can't accuse them of jumping on the retro bandwagon at least.

It must have been such a design brief..."How can we reintroduce the classic 'bubble', yet include NONE of it's notable look/features"?

The bat sticker designer for Kook must be the CEO's son or something.

I agree, although I would have much rather they used the original sticker design as tat basically looks like all other kooks

Red one is the viper, the light weight model.

You would have thought that the Bubble deserved different stickering than the standard template...

Looks great though, its on the wishlist!

Loving the look of the viper!

I thinks its quite dissapointing that kooka keep changing their ranges every season!

But then i guess its a ploy to get you to buy a new set each year!

it doesn't look bad but.....why not got more retro?

think kooka should take a leaf out of gray nicolls books and bring back the retro,  look at how popular the scoop and dynadrive have beeen
