How does the 350X suspension compare to the 200X for jumping?

[Studytime]

I've seen guys get a lot of air with the 200X, and they haven't complained about knocked out teeth or broken frames.

Is the 350X suspension even better than that? I've heard the 250R had about the best trike suspension as it was a MX chassis.

Just wondering how they compare. I've never ridden a 200x or 350x (YET!).

It's been mostly my 200s and a hopped up 400EX.

If you have experience please post it...

350X is a huge upgrade from a 200X

i agree
the 350 has much better suspension

[smokinp]

if you have a 200x put 350x suspension on it....

I have both and the 350X is better. not night and day....but just better. The 250R is even better.

Hey did that guy survive that jump? Thats some major air time.

The 83-84 200X did have one weekness in the frame, the down tube in front of the engine would break in half if you made a habit of trying to grab big air. I broke 2 down tubes back in the 80's on 2 of my 200X's on a track built for dirtbikes.

The 1985 350X had a similar issue in that the frames broke when jumping particulary hard, espeically on riders was over 180lbs

Sittinguy is that you making that jump? Thats huge man.

I'm pretty sure the Tecate suffers from broken frames after repeated big air but with my 120 pound frame I'm sure it will survive jumping with me on it.
