The blade was cool when it came out....but it was still a tub style sled with the bars/rider waayyy behind the engine and the front suspension hinged from the outer edge of the frame instead of the center. But boy does that drive shaft mounted brake look familiar....although the XP has the rider's foot right next to it instead of a foot or more behind it. They did get rid of those stupid trailing arms though. Edited June 21, 2016 by Mikeadoo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bladefever 1,563 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 When riding your left toe might be 1/2" away from the brake disc. Unless you like to ride with your feet behind your body. The big deal was to create a rigid chassis. That allowed the major components to stay aligned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
