elfreeridefreako (Feb 24, 2009 at 20:54)

why do their bikes look so much better than the factory bikes even though they are nearly identical, i even consider buying that bike stock just because how ugly the frame is but when they have it repainted and shit like this it actually looks amazing

Mine is almost done. The new world cup 40 dampener is wicked stiff. I wonder how the geax tires are? their 3c compound tires are way cheaper than the maxxis's

its funny how the rmx left the scene as this one entered it. if you look closely theyr essentially the same suspension design. i guess a geometry tweak makes all the difference Smile

I just received the ltd edition 40 The dampener is totally different. it showed up with a green ti spring and the dampener off.We couldn't get the fork into its travel more than 4". we then set it to gee's settings that are on the card. Holy crap. stiff as hell. some Pros get custom cartridges the ltd 40 lets anyone have one of those forks for a price $1800
