Default Axle comparison.

I was looking into getting 2+2 axle for my raptor.


I know LSR is the best with the lifetime warrenty but its expensive
What about the G Force axle or any other brands.. Can you guys fill me in how they compare.

I heard durablue isnt taht great and tends to bend and what not.

LSR is not "the best". I would say their axle may be as good as the RPM Dominator, but certainly not better.

LSR has a sketchy history as far as customer service. The RPM Dominator axle has a true lifetime warranty if I remember correctly.

I have been reading about the G Force and it seems to be a pretty damn good axle and even better that its cheaper by over 100 bucks. You get what you pay for, I know but what do you guys think of it?

Lets just sya that I have(well had) a G Force axle and I ride the trails. I have done a few jumps on it but nothing serious. I dont know maybe I was unlucky and got a bad one but who knows. If your are gonna be doing any jumping I wouldnt go with a G Force. If you think about it...How does a company produce an axle THAT cheap with a lifetime warranty and it really be that good. You get what you pay for I think in this instance.

two of the guys on our team have been racing on G-force axels all season and have not had a single problem yet. I plan on getting one myself, as far as I know they are a very good axel.

How are the G force when it comes to jumping.. I'm sure they are stronger than stock and my stock one keeps up good so far.

not positive on jumps,but they hold up to 200 miles of mixed whoops, rocks, sand, drop offs, G-outs, and long hard Desert riding.
