X4 review...

I'm a man a few words so I'll cut the crap and let you guys know my opinion of the Pitster Pro x4



The suspension works like a dream. The forks work killer and you can really feel the extra travel that they have. I did bottom them out a couple of times but thats what happens when you over shoot the landing. The SGR forks perform like the forks on a big bike, by far the best pit bike forks I've felt.



rear suspension- amazing. This bike seems to never get loose or wash out.Plus the bike lenght allows oyu to sit way back on the seat or right over the gas tank.



Jumps- I was hitting tables as hard as I wanted and seemed to love it. The bigger I went the better it handled. I few times a hit some jumps that had some bad lips and while I was off balance it didn't seem to effect how the x4 landed- the x4 picks up the slack on rider error.



Whoops, ruts and holes- I could hammer the whoops and this bike would float through them, skipping across the top of them. The track was pretty chopped up in some spots but I couldn't even feel the rough stuff.



Engine- while this bike will smoke the stock x2r I would like to a little more power. The bigger pipe gives it plenty of room to breathe so a larger carb might to the trick.



Bar height- I was sketchy at first to fell how high the bars were but to my surprise it was about right on. I would a bar that is about an inch lower. But my wife really liked how it was, so did a few of the other guys (and girls) that went out riding with us today, it is a matter of perference.



Cornering- dam the lower i got the more it hooked up, this thing rails the burms. it hooks up well and gives the rider lots of control.



My Opinion- this bike out performs any other pit bike I've ever ridden. And has lots of little things that can help you fine tune it to your riding style- fully adjustable shock and adjustment for the rear shock mount, adjustable forks, bar riser positioning, and alot more. I would like to have a little more power thats all.



here are some pics of us riding today( I'll post some footage when it gets done loading onto my computer....

















watch for some footage

Or is it because I was all over you on the 450's:p
That X4r was so fast I think I pulled my back out trying to hold on to it.

What do you think of the little whip.
It's pretty good since the lip of that jump totally sucked

I'm 5'11" 185lbs. My wife is 5'8" 125lbs does that help?
Hey Raney, I was riding with you the whole time so it was hard for me to take pictures and ride at the same time. Especially to turn around and take pictures of you behind me. but I did get some rad 450 footage
