A-Arms?

[duroc825]

I run XC and am happy with the power I have but not with the handling in turns and corners. Would say +1"/0" or +2" A- arms make that much improvement in handling versus cost? Getting tired of being on the edge of high siding on those fast sweeping turns and looking for improvement.

as was recently pointed out in one of my threads,...
All your suspension questions can be answered in this older thread.
It is a LONG read, and alot to digest and comprehend. But it is well worth taking the time to read and understand it.

Im real big into XC riding, I researched it alot and found that in reality +2 arms may offer the most stability (unless you went with +3 but thats way to wide)-but they wont fit thru the trees to well.

So I decided on +1 or +.5 arms, adds stability and the +1 will add 2 inches to the width of the quad-but you will fit thru trees.

Thanks, but I was kinda wanting to avoid reading through 20 pages of info to find my answer. No offense but it's kinda like asking what time it is and getting told how to build a clock!
:D
Thanks CJM, so you think the gains are worth the cost?

I would say it would be worth it. I find that the front is ever so tippy-slightly more width will help this greatly imho. I cant say for sure as I never rode a +1, I know riding a +2 made a world of difference-but at 4 inches wider (43.5 vs close to 48 inches) its gonna be super tight in the woods.
