They are prototype ATK units. I don't believe there is an a-arm skid out there that will work on most LT arms.

that is a shame they dont make them for xc racers that take a risk of hitting rocks with thier a-arms.

Is atk going to offer the arms to the public if they decide they are good enough.

that is gonna be sweet. Does the long travel give you a better ride than the elites and standard travel on your last years bike?
