I've been racing on one for over a year and its great. Super light and extremely durable. I came off a dune and pancaked the bike. Both left side tires popped off the rims and I ripped my left shock tower from the frame. Axle held up great, straight as an arrow.

i had a X-33 in my LT250R, i didn't like the way the pin would loosen up & the hub/wheel would be slightly loose. i never lost a wheel, but it wasn't confidence inspiring when the wheel would rock on the pin as a pivot point.. i sold the quad & my brother ran the x-33 for a short time on his LT with the same conclusions... he now runs a lonestar.

between me and a friend he has broke 3 durablue axles and bent a lonestar twice and all lonestar does is staighten it and it takes about a month to get back. I bought a RPM it cost a little more but neither one of us has had any trouble in two years. RPM is the axle for mx .

No offense man but if you and your friend are destroying so many axles maybe you guys need to reevaluate your riding habits. It sounds like you guys need to learn how to ride without crashing, dont blame the axle.
