Review?

With all the enthusiastic responses I think I'm going to pass on them.

Hey that’s free. There’s no need to do anything if it works fine as is. You could google reviews if one wants. Guys change whole forks too. It’s good to have options but stock is fine and the cheapest route.

I just saw a used Xtrainer on Craigslist . A cartridge fork did seem like a good idea. It’s not that expensive... I have too many bikes to get an Xtrainer too though. . But Id like one.

My granddaughter has WAY outgrown the stock forks. A Fox shock on the back helped but I was looking at a less expensive way of improving the front.

She's too short for my 300rr or KTM 200, even lowered. Already modded the engine back to the 300rr specs, need to do something about the suspension.

So yea the cartridge kit is newer and great and cheaper. What is it $400? Thats wat cheaper than buying new forks. Guys have put on whole forks up front too. I think you just have to google for more info from everywhere instead of just here. Boano racing had a fork . I think there were a couplr of fork complete change kits.

Actually it's a bit over $700 and I have found ZERO reviews on it anyplace including overseas sites.

I see you say it's newer, greater and cheaper. Have you actually rode with one or have an actual link to a ride report?

Have you googled it? Im pretty sure Thumpertalk has at least one thread

Nobody has replied there either.

Has anyone tried the Boano X Trainer Dual Fork Cartridge Kit.
Priced at $729.95, I would like to have some kind of reviews on them before buying it.
Please let me know your opinion about them.
Thanks

My brother just ordered them for his X trainer. He is also a Beta Dealer. Not sure if he has them yet or not.
Call Scott at Allsport Cycles and ask him. 540-772-2500.
If I get his feedback, I will post it here.
