This video provides an in depth overview of this amazing Honda TRX450R. This custom chromoly framed BAJA TRX was engineered by XTravel Suspension and has been the foundation upon which their new bolt on BVS and XLinkX kits have been developed. It was a pleasure to meet James and Niko and we were beyond grateful to experience this totally unique machine. The future looks exciting for XTravel!

Dean Sundahl built this suspension first on Banshees, 250R, and TRX450. I wonder how much of his geometry was used. 🤔

@PeteHager 3 года назад

The Sundahl designs definitely influenced their ideas. Unfortunately custom frames are pretty expensive so the idea of implementing some of this tech into bolt on kits is pretty clever. I can't wait to try a modern machine with their kit. Just seeing one of the Sundahl banshees would be amazing let alone watching one in action. I'd be nervous to ride one 😆😅🤘

Hehehe i have been waiting for this vid! I need all the info. What size tires, have they weighed it, what are the draw backs to such a complex suspension set up, when is it going to be available for the public, and how wide was it?😂😂

@PeteHager 3 года назад

😅 well I’m sure the tires were 23’s and 22’s. I’m not sure how much the machine weighed but probably not much more than a standard TRX if it is heavier. There really isn’t a lot of draw backs to a set up like that if your free riding regularly. I think it would be a lot of fun to try out in a variety of situations. The bolt on kits are ready for YFZ450R’s and TRX450R’s. If you want to really learn about everything I would reach out to XTravel directly 👍

@PeteHager 3 года назад

I think it would be easier to compare the weight if we did more jumping with it. Just riding it around it felt a little heavier then a regular 450 but it had so much traction that maybe that’s why I had that sensation. It was super smooth and predictable, I thought about it for weeks after riding it 🤪😅

What size tires did the trx have ?

@PeteHager 2 года назад

Most likely 23 inch fronts and 22 inch rears. That’s common in desert racing! A lot of guys run that set up when they have mud races in GNCC as well to increase ground clearance 👍

@merkin5137 3 года назад

Looks like a stock rear shock? Biggest problem on the TRX was the back end bucking thru the whoops instead of soaking them up.

@PeteHager 3 года назад

I'm assuming he had a Fox shock on the rear as well. I think this was a true no link set up in the rear. Unfortunately we didn't get a good walk around vide of the quad.. that was my bad 🤦‍♂️ XTravel has my rear YFZ shock right now for a revalving and were setting up their "no link linkage". I'm pretty excited to try it out!

@tangomango4756 3 года назад

What gear do you use when you ride trails with you raptor

@PeteHager 3 года назад

Gear preference is up to the rider and the machine. The Raptor can be lugged around because it has so much torque. I enjoy 3rd gear trails. Those speeds are more forgiving and playful. If speeds are high then normally the trail isn’t very technical. It’s getting harder and harder to find actual ATV trail with all the SxS’s these days..

Hey Mario, like the above comments the Honda 250EX is a great starter quad but if your an older person that’s bigger in size it may be too small for you. Starting in the 400 category could be more practical. Something a 400ex or Z400 would be an excellent starting machine as well 👍

@PeteHager 3 года назад

From my understanding Sundahl definitely created the concept a long time ago with banshee’s like you said. This machine was built a few years ago and it seems to carry on the concept. Unfortunately custom frames are more expensive and tedious to set up compared to a bolt on kit. That’s why XTravel has taken the idea and implemented it into bolt on kits. They call it BVS and XLinkX technology. Riding a Sundahl Banshee would be ridiculous 🤪😅

@LolliWANG505 2 года назад

@@piketerritory244 It's not worth it for duning either. These long travel kits really only benefit you in desert terrain with huge rocks and chewed up whoops. It's too soft for Glamis or any sand dunes for that matter. In the dunes you want more of an mx setup with paddles.

It's cool, but from far it sounds like it's kinda struggling going up the dunes, also its definently better to run paddles and razors or doughnuts on the front to plane the sand, that's the reason it doesent turn too hot.

@PeteHager 3 года назад
