Title: X57 AL vs C swingarm weights.
Post by: Akagi on April 04, 2006, 01:56:53 pm

Well I got my hands on my 757, and am half way done dissasembling the thing.  Including the AL swingarm...  So I took the Carbon swingarm i bought and weighed both.

The AL swingarm is ~850 grams while the Carbon one is ~650 grams.  Thats if i Remembered the numbers correctly 45 minutes ago when i measured them :P

So how cool is that? I can tell you that the x57 carbon is way stiff too, much more than the Evo style on my Oz.

Good work!

Men, you must have a very thin-walled Swingarm!!!
I weighted mine and it goes up to 730g. The other one I have is about 780g!!!
I believe the swingarm weight is a unknown variable ...
Check my gallery for the weight.

How fun! Riding x57s. How are the shocks holding up?
