New rails for a Pint showpiece
-
7075 aluminum, to be stubbornly precise.
@NotSure - True is, this Pint/Pint-X version of these are step towards the similarities of slimmer-ish titanium version (aka 'DaVinci rails').
As of the time of writing titanium ones are GT exlusive only and sold out ever since. -
@lemur nice!
I remember seeing a guy riding the GT versions out. Apparently he was with 1wheelparts and was testing the rails
looked cool as hell!

Well, it's been 4 days. Are they on yet?! lol Interested in your feedback.
I have the FAF rails and really, really like the 7 degree tail. Have often wondered what it would be like to have a 3.5 nose but I usually tilt it up around 2 degrees anyway considering the FAF nose is .25" lower.

@sirgu i wonder about these two features tho. u think they used FEA when they designed them? its an interesting design choice. you could technically integrate 'suspension' into the rails via trussing.
XR's got what plants crave!

@notsure said in New rails for a Pint showpiece:
...you could technically integrate 'suspension' into the rails via trussing.Good call. They did that actually:
"These rails use an open truss system. This open truss system saves weight, increases strength, and provides an opportunity to introduce "Tuned compliance". Tuned Compliance is a small amount designed-in flex. This slight flex increases ride comfort without sacrificing ride "Feel"."
