BTW, any DVX riders ride in the water or little mud yet? The Cat looks like it offers little splash proctection though.
i've takin mine in some mud and water...it does just fine for a 2WD but it really dont protect your legs and back from flying mud...not a big deal for me, dont go mudding that often, and when i do, HEY you go mudding to get muddy right!

Nice pics page. Never see many DVX's.
I was just worried about the occasional puddle you see along the trail. The fenders seem really cut.

DVX32, in your "just about tippin it over" pic, it looks more like just about the balance point if it's anything like the Z. When I ride wheelies, my grab bar is only about 6in. off the ground. Nice pics by the way, you bent your axle yet jumpin like that? How 'bout your stock bars?

The jumps I was taking on my Z weren't that big either. Maybe four foot of air or so. Bent the axle first week I had it. Bent the bars when I cased a double, my wrist hurt for a month. My rear shock is blown already as well. I only weigh 175. You'd think that big of a machine would be able to hold up to a rider of my size.

I'm not mudding. Just asking because the Cat looks so cut up.
