I mean how in God's name did the dude in the marketing team not think that Moustache as brand name would maybe cause some image issues?

The double entendre and innuendo opportunities are endless!

Has there been a worse bike (or other) branding faux pas ever? 😂😂😂

I'm not the historian you're looking for, but shall we start with the DOGSBOLX or the Stiffee - or maybe il pompino ?

Old enough to remember the Roberts and the Cove but 14 year old me says they pale in comparison

For English speaking markets they should just rebrand to Fanny Tickler for maximum impact

I know it's "the joke" but my problem with Dirt Oriented Geometry System Blend Orthogonal Lateral Extra is that it tries too hard, to the point where it's not actually funny.

Pompino on the other hand is, imo, nice, simple, and understated.

I demoed some eBikes with my son on the weekend - the guy leading us was astride his wife's Moustache.. while I was aboard his Thok. Thok? Nice bikes actually, but Thok off with those names!

There were the photos of Edwina Currie back in the day sat on a Stiffee.
