Front Suspension/Steering/Brakes

[ThePhantomRider]

Only 6 hours till part 3 is available. What do you guys think they have done in this episode that will be groundbreaking?? Revolutionary?? or Evolutionary??

And don't say power steering....though a mini-rack and pinion setup would be cool...

Just hope the front shocks are of good enough quality that they wouldn't need replaced for racing applications. And is this thing going to be 50 inches wide?

My idea of what we will see, is no less then 10" travel up front with fully adjustable HPG shocks. Some kind of damper so bump steer will basicly be gone. And a-arms with caster adjustments. Brakes will be dual caliper with a wave type roter. And what we do know, ITP tires and wheels. I feel the DS450 will be about the same width as most 450 at about 46"-47" wide. Having it near 50 really shrinks the market as most are trail riders.

So I saw the new video, 46in wide, all aluminum cast a-arms, and im def. impressed with the way the brakes are set up, but they did not mention the brand of shocks or anything about them, must not be anything special

[One_Bad_400]

ya... they didnt say a word abotut he shocks... and dotn have them in any of the pics...

[ThePhantomRider]

KYB HPG Shocks with adjustable rebound and compression with threaded spring tension.

Front wheel travel is 9.5 inches.

The whole front end is over 3 lbs lighter than the next best, Honda and 5 lbs lighter than the heaviest 450 front end.

Brakes are by Willwood, renound brake builders.

I thought they were forged alluminum a-arms not cast alluminum.

but ya the bike is looking very impressive I may have to get me one of them.

[GE4x4]

The a-arms are forged and not cast. Much stronger. There just like the Outlaw rear a-arms, very strong and light.

Ehhh, 46" wide???

Oops I did say cast, my mistake, I was tired, didnt listen well enough...
