There has been alot of talk conceirning the new G-Force axle and how good it actualy is. Some people are unsure about how good it actualy is because of the low $199.99 price tag. We decided to try one of these out on Ralph2's new 450r to shed light on this new product.
I had several pictures showing the instalation of the axle but lost them because my old computer died so as for the installation everything went very smooth.
If you have installed rpm and lsr type axles in the past on your 400ex's etc, you need to pay attention to the sprocket hub. They arent actualy pressed on but they use a big circlip to hold it in place. You have to make sure to remember installing the clip because they do not come installed from the factory. This design is better in my opinion because ive had past experiences with lsr sprocket hubs coming loose etc so this system is a little bit of a fail safe and also makes it easier to change the sprocket hub if you needed to.
I cannot really tell you anything about the strenght of the axle since we have not been able to put any use to it, but im pretty sure comes with a life-time guarantee. The craftsman ship on this piece however seems A+.
The finish on the axle is a nice chrome plated finish which just tops off the whole deal with the low price tag. This axle is defianatly worth it for the money and i will keep you up on how good it holds up after some extensive riding is put on it.
