77RACERDAD YOUR POLARIS HAS THE SAME TRANS AS THE APEX

[77racerdad]

yes that is true, but one of the new Apex riders was a previous Polaris rider. This boy raced for over a year on his polaris and never broke a tranny. He has had his Apex for 3 weeks now and is on his 4th tranny.

We race 2 apex 90 pro mx since last august with stock transmissions till dec. then bushing modded the trans as a precaution . But have never broke a trans and have finished every race. heres a pic Im including to show you we run them hard. Its the riders.

I am not trying to sound so negative about the Apex,
I am also interested in getting my son one, but I don't want to go out and buy one until the tranny problems are solved. We just haven't seen them perform. We have raced with them and never seen one finish a race. 3 Apex riders all broke trannys.
And some more aggressive than others. But they still all had the same problem.

I bet he rides his Apex harder than his Polaris too. It depends on the riders size as well as ability. A 95 pound kid is going to be harder on the bike than a 55 pound kid. They may not be replacing the inner needle bearing after every set of gears the bearing is the reason for the failure.

apex, kasea, drr, eton, polaris and a few more all the same cases and same trannies except for output shafts. i cant count how many we broke on our eton before we put a tranny saver on it.
