RPM or LSR axle. I hate to ask this question. Just your opinion And tell me a short horror story or two. And if you now about there waranties. Cause i thought LSR had a No questions asked warantee until i went to the policies. .you gotta be original owner and have these papers and crap. how's RPM's warantie. and what the difference betewn the dominater race and the regular dominator

rpm is a better axle hands down, but lsr has a lifetime gurantee and its cheaper so id def get lsr, you break or bend em they take care of you so why spend 200 bucks more on rpm

i feel rpm makes stronger products, but it does have full lifetime warrenty, checked it out on their web site, they are also adjustable, and such, they are almost the exact same, but rpm is built stronger and will last longer.

it is personaly opion, what ever you feel you want to ride on.
good luck

Well look for some changes to happen with the LS axle. RUmor has it, one of the designers for RPM went to LS now, and he is supposedly helping them build a new axle.

What does a RPM retail for.....430??? Whats a lonestar retail for....like$406. FOr a $24 differance, ide go with the better Axle.......RPM!

i believe i put in there R E T A I L. That means what companis base there prices off of. I sell LS axles for 330 also at my bike shop. But i put those prices on there, becuase thats what alot of ppl would expect to pay at a bike shop.

You can't find any nicer or stronger. They back up their stuff also with a no BS return policy and they are Not "pro-rated" like most of the others around. Break it, bend it, damage it, they will get you taken care of. I have yet to hear of Anyone that needed to return one yet. They just don't fail!

RPM "Dominator" Axle, RPM Swingarm, RPM taper bearing carrier, RPM Anti-Fade nut. Oh yeah, RPM front taper bearing billet hubs but you can't see them in this pic!

forget about LSR get the RPM. LSR is so worried about making a buck that they forget why they are in business and what will happen if they continue to let their service go down the tubes.

Been trying to get a axle returned to them that is wrong (orig from Denton) but they keep insisting its the right one and not willing to take it back etc.

Seems that when the 02 craptors came out LSR was just shipping the old axle for the 01 till they figured out that there was a problem etc. but now rather than swap the right one for a used wrong axle they would rather just keep shiping out diff lock nuts that dont work.

Sad thing is this has been going on for like 8 months and now that atleast agreed to look at the axle but wont promise anything or even pay return freight.

this just isnt right for a chunk of steel that should sell for under 100.00.

Oh IMHO :blah

RPM is definitely the better of the two. As far as RPM's warranty, it's still only covers the original owner of the axle (at least that's what their warranty policy states). Hands down, the quality of the RPM is worth the extra $100 IMO.

What about RAD axles. They make aluminum and titanium axles. The look pretty good.
