C'mon guys I need your expert advice

Does a 136in. ride enough better than a 121in. to justify the extra expense?????? :shock: 8) :? :shock: 8) :?

I thought so going from 121" to 136" on my '04 RX-1. But then again, I don't have a mono-shock either. A 121" can ride just as good but the thing that you'll notice more is the traction. Overall, I like the versatility of the 136"

 

[Tork]

If you are talking comfort, bump handling, IMHO

05= the shortie monoshock
03 & 04= 136
06= 136

 

[BURMAD69]

Thanks, I think I'll go with the 136, can never have to much traction with or comfort

Why settle for the girly machines like i ride (convert was here), get a mountain and ride with the MEN.

 

[BURMAD69]

Sorry, Dont ride the mounts, No need in Northern Wis.

BURMAD69 - I am a 121 guy all the way, but after riding the Attak with the mono........................well let's just say an Attak will be in my possesion soon.

I rode the Attack and the Apex in the tight woods for a very short period of time. I have an 05RX-1 (I would have bought a Warrior in 05 if it had the Mono but it didn't).

The Apex felt a lot better in the woods IMO and I have spent a bit of time on Warriors so I know what the extra track can do for you. On the lake we lined up a Demo 05 RX-1 with an Attack, 3" of fresh stuff on the lake - was a tie from top to bottom.

Another reason I'm concerned about ride is that I plan on talking my wife into riding this sled so I can get a new APEX!!

Why settle for the girly machines like i ride (Convert was here) , get a mountain and ride with the MEN THAT NEED A DENTAL PLAN.

Both my wife and I rode the shorty and the Attack/ for the ride it's a no brainer/ the Attack is far superior/ I would agree that in the tight and twisties while playing with the boys the shorty would out perform the Attack/ Bottom line/ which way are you going to ride most of the time/ and if your going to give it to Mama then definitly make it the Attack/ later/ jim-bob

Shorty handles better in the corners, sled is easier to handle. Long track for comfort and hole shots. However, if you are agressive across the bumps the shorty is better. Some of this I gathered from other riders.

If your agressive trail rider the 121 is best ,if your hill climbing the 136 would be ideal, I had the same questions. I ended up going with 121 M-10, 1.25 full paddle track 192 1.3.75 pics, spending extra money on paint.

Look at it like this:

121 Pro's:
Corners better in the really tight twisties
20-24 lbs lighter
A little more top end

136 Pro's
Rides better
Looks better 8)
Hooks better
Floats better
Climbs better
More stable at speed (I really liked this aspect of my Warrior)
More stable in the squirrely stuff (I liked this too)
Faster from corner to corner


What of the above things are most important to you :ORC
