Anyone found a good deal on the Legend Axeo front suspension? Time to upgrade.

Not sure where to find a good deal, but will say that the Axeo is an excellent upgrade. Made a huge difference to the handling of my SGS.

After reading LOTS of reviews, that seems to be the standard.

I was thinking with all the black friday/weekend deals, someone may have come across a website offering a good deal.

Call Lindsey at Iron Aces for the Axeo's. When I bought mine they were $675.00 but that was over a year ago. Good people to deal with. 704-255-1781

I had the progressive mono's and switched to the Axeo's for &725.00 . Doesn't help your question but was well worth it in my book.

Was the switch worth it? What are the major differences in ride quality?

Thanks

Does anyone know if CCE redesigned their TourTrac caps to fit the Axeo's? Found an old thread that mentioned this, fired off an email to CCE but probably won't get an answer until Monday.

Thanks

While the front suspension adds somewhat to ride quality, that is more attributable to the rear shocks. Where the Axeo shines is in handling. No more front end dive. No more wallowing in high speed corners. The bike always feels well planted and solid in all riding conditions. The front end isn’t bouncing around on rough roads. It’s almost hard to describe without feeling it. The combination of Revo-A’s on the back and Axeo’s on the front have increased the riding pleasure at least ten fold. I now look forward to the ride, regardless of where we are going. I used to cringe whenever we hit rough roads.

Thanks for the review. I'm running Progressive monotubes and 944 shocks now. The Progressive setup is an improvement over the stock ride, but a bit harsh; I'm looking for firm and compliant. I've heard good things about the Revo/Axeo combination and was hoping to hear from those that have had both.
