Personally I think the tubing was the more bulletproof of the two.

Other than that, upgrade your tires to Maxxis Zillas. You will be thrilled with the results!

It will make up for him leaving me in the dust...

We were at a mud run competition and someone brought a Renegade 800, bone stock, and he DOMINATED the competition. He was roosting the whole way through the puddle.
