Big tire bike

#5
Fork/neck area are weak on those. And when you turn the footpegs tend to dig in.... I snapped one off at Windber on a root on the first turn on the uphill trail. I think I sold it to Leon... I think I sold quite a few fat tire bikes to Leon...

Unless you can engineer some forks with triple trees those forks will get beaten back with only a few "sweet" jumps, you don't even have to hit something very hard to bend those oversized bicycle forks. Those are the most under engineered forks I've ever seen on that big a bike, I expected better from Manco but it's not that hard for a fabricator to make some forks that would make that bike a very formidable machine off road. Were I to buy one I'd start on the forks right away and make a jig to make more or just make multiples, you could easily sell the extras to other Big Cat owners.
