A few pics taken at the Freeraid courtesy of Matthieu of Wade and Richie on their new sleds.

Wasn't there, didn't take the pics, just found them on the web.

Check out the bigger bearings on the RMX at the thrustlink junctions, that seems promising! imagine: RM7 geometry/handling without the stiffness/breaking issues. That'd be something! :cool:

RMX/888

Switch

enjoy!

supposedly they feel almost the exact same, with the RM7 actually being a bit plusher, the RMX is just a hell of a lot stiffer and better on shocks…definately a cool rig!

thats not completely new..you should see hte new linkages./dog bones, the dog bones are twice as thick and they wrap around the thing that they get bolted to on the swing arm, so those 2 tabs on the swing are are just one thick tab and te dog bone wraps around it so pimped and the linkage plates get thicker:thepimp:
