Nice little write up, gives a fair analysis of the machine.

I really want to like it but I can't get over the fact that it looks like a door stop wedge.

Glazzkraft may get rich off this thing if they can come up with a new body and give it some decent lines.

But, then there is the tall gearing and 27" tires to contend with......

 

[jajl22]

Ya, not being able to run anything bigger then a 27" tire is a let down.

Great write up Rusty!

There is already someone making new covers for the machine. Check out Ryhsmillenracing on instagram. They give that car a whole new look.

All is see is couple stock YXZ's. Do you have link by chance?

 

[JoeyD23]

I am not sure I would say Rhy's stuff gives it a "whole new look". The carbon pieces definitely add to it but its not an entire plastics redesign or anything that significant in terms of the overall exterior design / appearance. But they are bad ass.

 

[Rynomx785]

Oh.... I saw the carbon hood piece.

He made some fender pieces too if I remember.

Thanks rusty for posting a pic. I guess a whole new look was saying a bit much but it does look way better. He got rid of that big ugly hump in the fender well.

I think done right they look cool.

Yeah but those are just renderings. lol I haven't seen one done yet that I was "YES!!"

Agreed. They look incomplete.

I think Arctic Cat had a hand in the body design. lol
