did it say how much it's weight is?

 

No, there was no mention of weight, but I can't see it being to much more then there 04 90's.

 

I believe the reverse is electronic so the wieght difference should be nil. The 04s were 209 lbs dry wieght

 

249 lb dry weight for the RXL90R (reverse) according to a brochure i picked up at the Eton booth at Indy (compared to 238 lb for their 70, and 50)

 

Are you sure on those wieghts?A 40lb weight gain is an awful lot of weight even if the reverse was mechanical?Somebody's brochure must be incorrect.

 

I just picked one up today and the owners manual says 249 lbs dry weight!
