If I'm going GP, Moto and ANY mix of riding on an MX bike?
I'm getting the RX over the R all damn day.
Personally, I'd get the RX anyways...it's got the button!
Get this: the suspension is BETTER in choppy-kicking-braking bumps!
Yuuuuuup!
The e-start is super-quick and you will have NO TROUBLE restarting while rolling (you-off-road guys with KTM/Husky scoots know exactly what I mean).
Spent MANY laps on the Vet track and it's only sluglty different in the front-shroud area (kinda YZ-F like). Un-noticeable other than the rare occasion you might notice it when placing your leg waaaaay up high while railing a berm.
Weight? Noticed it slightly when landing a really fast jump at speed and slightly crooked...that's it. I was impressed, the "mass" of the bike isn't noticeably different on the vast majority of the track. 18 pounds is the weight difference and the battery/kick-stand can get rid rid of 5-6 of those. The AT81s probably weigh 1-2 pounds more than 3Ss...etc.
The kickstand is removable by getting an R left-peg-mount: that removes the entire assembly (weight).
The R tank and shrouds WOULD make a difference, too.
19" rear with the 3S front and rear.
Light-weight battery.
Etc., etc., etc. ...
That's the kind of stuff you'll be going after if you're "weight crazy".
Michael will have all sorts of details on the homepage.
I'll bet he leaves out the part where he roosted me on the track...lap after lap after lap!
These kids nowadays, no respect for their slow-elders.
It really is an R that's ready to go GNCC/GP Racing.
There'll be 2.7-2.8, 3.2 & 4.5 gallon tanks from IMS in the not too distant future (Johnny Campbell's got your back on that!)
I have a bottom line question for you. If you had the R model, put on an 18" wheel, change the motor mounts and did a re-valve on the suspension for off road, would the R be the same as the RX?, obviously minus the ES and tank, haha
Give us a few, and we'll have it figured out.
Also- we are already working on off-road valving for the R suspension.
I'm guessing we'll end up with R shrouds.

All...Red.
The kid was shredding the backside of Glen Helen.
Gee he should do well this year !!
