Title: Beadlocks or Suspension? Post by: KD 428 on April 06, 2008, 08:10:12 PM Well I am debating whether to get all 4 new Hiper beadlock wheels or to send out my Suspension to Gt Thunder and get all 3 shocks revalved/resprung. I do Woods/XC riding and alot of jumping. I am also going to race in the FTR XC Quadscrambles next season as well. If you do not already know both upgrades are in the same price range..
Thanks in advance for replies and help. Title: Re: Beadlocks or Suspension? Post by: TRX450R_Racer on April 06, 2008, 08:16:48 PM Do the shocks. The wheels won't make you faster. Plus the better suspension makes it safer when you hit something unexpectedly.
That's a no brainer. Title: Re: Beadlocks or Suspension? Post by: Turboderf on April 06, 2008, 08:20:25 PM i say the shocks also.... ask slow joe you see what shocks do for him

Title: Re: Beadlocks or Suspension? Post by: KD 428 on April 06, 2008, 08:42:30 PM Ok I'm gonna go for suspension first! I should have them in about 2 months, depending on how much I work, lol.

Title: Re: Beadlocks or Suspension? Post by: FoxHondaRider on April 06, 2008, 11:03:41 PM Suspension for sure. Beadlocks are more of a cosmetic thing with the added strength and ability to run lower tire pressures. But suspension will get you so much further and make riding so much better. Suspension will make you faster and have a better ride

Whats wrong with the 450r shocks tho?I hear there TONS better than stock yfz and to me I love the stock yfz suspension.I would only imagine the 450r would be better?So why not do other mods that can help you out for that type of riding?Than again suspension and rider skills are like the only things that can help you out in there lol Title: Re: Beadlocks or Suspension? Post by: 686RAPTOR on April 06, 2008, 11:27:49 PM depends. you want your bike to look pretty then get the rims. you want better ride get the suspension. i would waste my money on suspension first you wont regret it.
Title: Re: Beadlocks or Suspension? Post by: Fox17 on April 07, 2008, 12:33:48 AM suspension. safer and much better performance wise.
Title: Re: Beadlocks or Suspension? Post by: KD 428 on April 07, 2008, 05:37:56 PM Thanks for all the replies everyone. Im gonna send my suspension to gtt after all. And nothing is wrong with the stock shocks, but their not the best for my riding style.

I wouldnt consider it "wasting" more of an "investment" Lots of people run Laz's setup with awesome results. Title: Re: Beadlocks or Suspension? Post by: TRX470r on April 07, 2008, 08:51:03 PM I am also planning on going with Shocks before beedlocks. Are the GTT shocks adjutable for use in MX and XC?

If you race hardcore (more than 80% of your races) XC, then go with the XC setup. If you are more of a MX person, stay with a MX setup. If you ride both, but dont race, just want the edge over other recreational riders, you cant go wrong with either. But with his expertise in GNCC racing with his son (who runs his stock YFZ shocks converted) in the pro class. I would go with his XC setup. My friend has full GTT on his LTR and when I rode it, I noticed the faster you went, the smoother everything was. It builds confidence like no other. |
