Hardcore or not?

Thanks Vern. I hate spreading bad information. I won't be running mine at or below 60psi.


All the pics of broken rails i seen last yr. The front breaks were in front of the shock. That leads me to believe that rail bottomed out up front and broke the rail.

This is what's happening to the hardcores.
Frontend bottoming out.

I think the marks in this pic are from the top limiter strap bolt head contact

Just my opinion:
I think there will be a lot of broken front ends this yr because of the soft front spring and Cats recomend 35psi (max of 60) on these Alpha rails.

Be interesting to hear what cat has to say on the subject regarding the low pressure recommendation.

I've been on two rides on my hardcore and already have a mark on the front of my rail as well. I was running it in the #2 position and never hit anything or jumped.
