very close indeed, but they use thinner wall material if im not mistaken.

thinner wall would mean weaker design?

most likely. Sure the Roll Design is probably a better and stronger arm.. They are like the pioneer in atv suspension, but 1470.00 just for the arms is a bit pricey.

though you may think they would be less tough, they are very strong and i've never heard of a cracked a-arm.

after working on so many different a arms....it boils down to what you want to spend. they all work ...they are all so close in design it comes down to personal choice in the features each arm has.

if dropping $1500 worth of cash on a set of arms just so the 2 14 year olds next door drool at your bike....then by all means scarf them up.

i think they use a .095 thickness wall and roll uses a .120. wont make a difference though. if you do something bad enough to bend .095, then it would bend .120 as well. plus .095 is lighter.
