Title: What is the Rider's weight?
Post by: jtrs_61 on November 13, 2020, 05:44:26 PM
From the MXS days I remember the MX1's had a rider weight of 175lbs and MX2 had rider weight of 150lbs...  What is Joe Moto's weight in MXB?  Would knowing this result in different spring ratios than our OEM stock setups? Is it changeable? If not, maybe it'd be cool to add a variant of say 10lbs or so? 

Im a big dood IRL. and a B rider.  after 30 years of riding i can tell you my weight has as much advantage in certain situations as it does disadvantages in others.

I searched, and found it briefly mentioned: http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?topic=2650.msg34285#msg34285

but uh... whats the scoop?

Joe's weight is 80kg. So 176,37lbs. It is not changeable yet, sadly. I believe OEM  have stock spring rates so you check on the racetech spring rate calculator to make sure you have the corret spring rates. That's what i do anyway :)
