Join the club I just bent mine two weekends ago. I looked into the durablue but it looks just as strong as the stock one so I decided to stay with the stock. That stock one is pretty tough.

RockymountainATV.com has the durablue for 289.

My friend has the same problem with his DS axle he was looking into an aftermarket axle but isnt sure which one is best. Was the titanium axle mad by Rad??

You can staighten the stock axle if you have access to a large enough press. Thats what we have done in the past when he bent his axle.

If you like to go big the rad axle looks to be the way to go, the only thing is it has no warranty and you can only get banshee hubs or 250r hubs, but you get everything with it including the bearing carrier and bearings.
