So what's the plan? Make a few prototypes now and test them, start taking orders in spring for next yr?
What makes this better than MH?
exactly! as long as it works thats my plan. I am not saying my kit is better than any other kit, especially this early in the build, but here are some of the facts
only things that need to be removed for install are rear swing arm and rear brake hose.
it will have a true progressive rate suspension. the suspension will be very tunable since it uses the stock bike shock. dirt bike shocks are one of the most advanced, most durable, most tunable shocks in the industry. and they are easy to tune as well.
it is a very simple design with few moving parts so it should be less susceptible to break downs and super easy to change tracks or work on skid
I dont have final weights yet but it should be relatively light hopefully lighter than the others, but thats just an estimate so far.
Like I said have not even rode it yet (hopefully this afternoon) so I can not make handling claims. but my goals are:
Awesome off trail abilities
Awesome on trail handling, I am doing a totally different ski design than the others, I hope it works but its kind of a shot in the dark.
The feel of a dirt bike in terms of how it pulls the front end up for wheelieing
Lastley I think I should be able to offer it at a much lower price, not sure yet on what that will be, but since there are no extra shocks and few precision machined parts it should bring cost down.
