Its like having 3 swing arms, when the shocks compress the tires naturally go forward instead of out like in a-arms. I would think since its moving forward and back, it would feel more springy than a regular quad. They also have absolutely no underbody protection, I wonder if they even make skid plates for them. They did an article about them in ATV Sport a long time ago and I think to get one with a KTM 520 engine was +$10,000.

yeah, theyre pretty funky lookin. do they have enough color combos? lol. the 520s were 13,000. not worth it if you ask me. you could put together a WAY better bike for that kind of money. also, i really doubt theres much of, if any, aftermarket for those. and where do you get em from anyway? ive never seen a W-Tec dealership.

Well I supose,if you got a KTM motor for example youd get the aftermarket parts made for KTM.
I wonder if it brakes well with that suspension...

Im about 90% positive those things come from France (oh boy), I used to think they were absolutely ugly, but once i saw them more and more, they kinda grew on me, but i would NEVER pay 13000 for it, thats insane. When i saw the thread title, i knew right away you were talking about the W-Tec Eraser [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
