Default Question on G force axle

Although I don't race, I mostly ride my Raptor a local MX track. Keep in mind that I'm 6'5" about 320 lbs...and have never bent or broken my G-Force axle. I've short landed several doubles and even a triple, but have never "ate it" on any of the jumps.

In fact, the only problem I've ever had with it was the axle nut loosening-up on me. However, a little "red" threadlock on the main nut threads and set-screw threads cured that issue.

For $199 you can't beat this axle along with the warranty it carries.

I highly recommend it.

Good luck!

According to what I've seen, the Banshee's G-Force axle lock-nut goes on the left-hand side of the swingarm. The Raptor's G-Force axle's lock-nut goes on the right-hand side of the swingarm. I guess one can "flip" the axle over, but I do not know for sure if the same axle would fit both machines.

I love it. I ride really rough trails with lots of jumps, no bending. You cant beat the price.
