Sure it looks cool but other than having the axle, what would you gaine by going with that swingarm? You could probably by a walsh and have it gold plated for the cost of machining that one!!!!!!!

I never looked that close at the pic before, but doesn't it look as though the center part is Cast Aluminum, and then at the back part the outer half is machined billet aluminum???

I get it now, its a 3 piece set up, you just unbolt the arms and pull them off each side so you can get to the hubs in the middle! smile.gif pretty sweet

I have access to 3/4 of one of those axles, no swingarm though. It was a test piece that was tested to destruction. I work with the R&D engineer that designed and built that paticular piece. He was telling me the swingarm design was not really ready for prime time. Way too many pieces and not very strong. The axle itself I think he feels was super strong.

Axle??

Was the axle 100% Carbon or was it a laminate over Alum/Ti?

100% carbon. It has some aluminum collars bonded into it for the wheels, brakes & sprocket hubs.
