Going with the 5.5. I understand they should be coming out with one later in the year in carbon fiber but it could add $150 to the price. :eek:

I heard if you get the right one, you will get more rotation movement in your neck...

do you know which one that is or does it vary? I know that when you get them for your bike you have to pick the ones that match the fastest factory teams that are running the same basic bike as you, or you can lose a lot of top end, midrange, low end, and your lower end can go bad sooner than it should.

Not sure on the neck brace, but it is a good thing that the Red Bull KTM team is running the same bike as me.... :smirk:

I was thinking about getting the red one but I hear they lead to chain breakage :smirk:

That is the first I heard. Concerns me because I prefer red too.

At least I'm not the only one thats had to push a red bike back to the pits. And I don't even wear a neck brace.

I have a alpinestars Bionic neck brace. At first it was not as comfortable as I think, but as I use it often it actually adds cushion and comfort in every jump I do.
