After hearing how well these perform above competitors I've popped into Luxon's shop and took a peak behind the office. I can't wait to get my hands on some for my FE501
Most stock clamps are forged (stronger than cast), but sometimes the top clamp is cast. The tolling costs for that is really expensive and not friendly to design changes over time. OEMs can do it as they're making tens of thousands of clamps. But the aftermarket companies can't afford the tooling investment for the smaller sales numbers. CNC machining is a much better process for aftermarket companies and allows for low up-front costs and relatively easy design changes. Machining also allows different features in the clamps that can't be cast or forged (overhangs, undercuts, etc.), so you can end up with a superior part, but it comes at a higher cost.
@@carrillospeed How are you able to adjust the rake angle? I have yet to find a Triple clamp system where you can legit change the Rake angle, on most you can only change the offset.
@@livefastdiequick Yes, sorry, I was signed into the wrong account! And while the Xtrigs are good clamps, they're significantly heavier (320g) than the Luxon clamps and don't have the same ride quality. We've had a lot of customers and professional riders prefer our clamps over Xtrig after testing both of them.
@@LuxonMX i don’t know if that’s a joke, but that was funny. I will say, and I know this is very important, your ads on Facebook are working. I’ve seen them quite often. I’m not nearly a good enough rider to truly give them a run for their money, but I salute the hustle
