go to a race... on a typical race weekend... i see a ton of durablues break... a few LSR... and never any RPM....


both LSR and RPm have a great warranty..... but RPM seems to have a lot less failures.
oh ill never go durablue again

just wondering why rpm is better??
lonestar is what i have and it never breaks/bends
ive raced mx for seven years broke three lonestar one g force two durablue bought my rpm dominator II raced it for one and a half seasons and its still straight and never let me down just my experiances
I can't speak for the Axecalibers but will say that my RPM has held up to some brutul case landings I've put my quad through.

While I had my axle off here lately I layed it on a flat surface and rolled it and it looks to be straight as laser beam to me. This axle has a good year of some MX racing on it...
Durablue axles didn't get the nickname "durabreak" for nothing. :mhihi:

I've heard of a lot of people that say RPM is stronger than LSR, but I have always had LSR axles and have had nothing but the best of luck out of them. I'm a very big guy (270 pounds) for MX standards, and I put more than my share of stress on an axle. Every big jump I work up the nerve to try, I seem to case the landing the first few times. I don't know how many times I cased the 80' triple at one track, and also cased the crap out of a 5th gear wide open step up a few times at another track. I'm known for leaving frame marks on jump landings. :loser: The first LSR I had was straight as an arrow when I took it out, and the only reason I replaced it was because I got a great deal on another LSR that the chrome was in better shape on. :mhihi: I've still got my other LSR as a spare though. A friend of mine has had every type of axle there is. He's bent or broken both LSR's and RPM's, but he has had better luck with LSR's customer service on a bent or broken axle.

I'm not saying I don't believe all of you that say you think RPM is better. I'm just saying that I have ZERO complaints about LSR axles and I believe I'm probably as rough as anybody on axles.

RPM is the way to go! Ive snapped to durablues like twigs and wont go back. I ride with the BITD Pro Class Champ (Dave Scott) who runs RPM and he has never and any problems with them if that is saying anything about there durability.

i weigh 135 pounds broke them all but rpm
i run an rpm and havent had any problems, and i've cased quite a few of the larger jumps at our tracks, snapped my gforce within 3 months of getting it, and i have a buddy with an lsr whose only had problems with it, i believe he's on his 3rd for one season. they've never given him a problem with the warranty tho, no questions asked the either fix it or replace it. i just havent had a problem with my rpm so thats what im sticking with.
