thinking hard of buying a REV, however the A Arm to Spindle Ball Joint, especially the top one looks like a possible weak link; Anyone have any similiar concerns? or breakages?
I ride on hard pack, and some severe riding in the Spring, ie. some areas with not much snow and these conditions are tuff on equipment. Any comments out there?

500 mogal munching miles on my 600 ho rev......no problems

I only have just over 600kms on my X but I weigh 200lbs and I have been known to hit a "hard" bump or two and have had zero problems with the suspension... I used to try to steer around bumps, now I go looking for them with the REV.

2300km on my REV. Hard km with limited snow. Mostly mogals.

Not a problem. I ride with 2 somtimes 3 other revs who also have a lot of kms under there belts.

I have herd of some reports of people bending the a-arms but they seem to be isolated and unusual situations. For example, some of the X sleds had the front shocks installed on the wrong side and the reservoir would hit and bend the upper a-arm under full shock compression. This is obviously a setup problem and unrelated to defects or poor designs. Under normal conditions everything’s fine. I know mine are fine.

right on, appreciate it. I just might have to get a new handle, come next week.
