Race Railz Durability for Stunting?
Curious to know if anybody has stunted with race railz and had any frame damage when you wrecked. Checking everybodys take on them because It doesn't seem like they would offer enough protection in the lot being that there is no corner brace. feedback and opinions........

Re: Race Railz Durability for Stunting?
it's real easy to sum up, if you can ride and are smooth then use them but if you suck and you bike is on the ground more then on it's wheels use a cage. Tons of us use race rail type setups with no probs but it's all in your riding style

Re: Race Railz Durability for Stunting?
ya I got a cage on my bike now but was curious to know abt the durability cuz I have a set of railz powder coated to match and they would look a lot cleaner. I had them on at first but didn't trust them enough so on went the cage

WOODCRAFT CASE COVER SOLVES THAT PROBLEM...i have railz, and a woodcraft stator cover...looks ballin, but the puck on the cover is slowly grinding down from sliding and falling...railz are only good if u dont crash alot like everyone else said

Re: Race Railz Durability for Stunting?
the cost of that cover plus the rails is more than a regular cage
