The line up poster got pulled on DOOTALK.
Looks like the 174 inch summit is a go, seen a bunch of pics on doo talk. They have fox float 3's on them. Lot of rumors, cant wait until 645 tonight so i can see what I am going to spring order.
Looks like a lot of refinements to the xs chassis for 2015. a few leaks getting out on dootalk. Hopefully there still is a big bomb to be dropped
Yea that chassis is pretty darn good. People keep saying its been 7 years on the XP platform yada yada, dont need to re-invent the wheel folks. that chassis is second to none so a complete overhaul makes zero sense. I see them tweaking an improving it, but a whole new chassis isnt happening....at least for the 2 strokes
I agree no need to kick XP platform to the side of the road & with all the new 15 lineups out but doo.... no OEM brought a new platform to market.....they don't need to. Refinement is a good thing making a good thing better is NOT disappointing & keeps pricing in check somewhat. Retooling costs big bucks & better be a whole lot better than current platform or don't do it. 2015 so far has been much of what I expected more cats than you can count,lighter poos with new 800 2s engin, lots of new Yamaha Vipers available, what remains is doo but since all other OEMs refined chassis why not doo?.... & maybe a new ACE higher hp engine would be a good thing. We all have to remember this is about making money & OEMs can't do that by retooling ...nobody going to want to get rid of their XP they like them.
the summit 174 by Custer will top the Mountain riders.
Longest, doesn't make it the best... Just saying
