Wrong.
Wrong.
Neither of you here have actually seen the VertX parts in person. If you had you would realise that there are some drastic differences between their parts, and Lucky parts.
I will start with the deck. Yes, Lucky designed it, and VertX made it. Therefore it is Lucky's design, and nobody else can use that design... but VertX haven't done that. They have made a newer design for the deck. They have taken an Evo deck and completely stripped it down, to start from scratch with a new design based around an I-Beam structure. It has had unnecessary metal remove, and it has had other designs added. Therefore making the weight, shape, structure, and size different to a Lucky.
Next is the head tube. Everyone who tested for VertX, have been sent those head tubes because they were spare, and VertX don't produce them anymore. (They can't anymore because it is Lucky's own product.) They have made their complete own range of head tubes to avoid stealing designs from Lucky.
Also the forks, yes they still make the SMX. I don't know why they do, but they do. Not much I can say for that. But at least they have started from scratch with 2 other forks, and come out with completely unique designs that are nothing like any Lucky products. Therefore, they have a right to call it their own yes? Yes.
I'm not going to go into either the wheels or bars, because there are only so many designs you can have, and it's not as if other companies have made products exactly the same as theirs. But look at the brake, they have been working on that for a long time, and it is a new, unique, possibly revolutionary design that works very well and has stolen no ideas from other companies.
Lastly, all this bullshit about them not being a Rider Based company is trash. You don't need to ride to be able to make good parts, and at the same time care about the sport. They made parts for Lucky. They saw many and many of their parts break through testing, so they are very experienced, and they know what they are doing. They know more than a lot of the riders out there that think they know everything about how to run a company.
Anyway, I will let you form your own opinion. I will stick with the opinion that they are legit, and that they have every right to make the products they do.

Wait till you see the bars i designed. Thats why he needs to email me
they better be hic slayers ^
speaking of bars
Lucky said something on IS about blatently copying other people's products.
...then made "pry bars"...
el oh el
If i need to buy something i'll buy it from vertX. Lucky has messed up two of my orders in the past.
Mitch, it's much more cost effective to pay someone who has the tooling, to make something. It's less expensive to get something designed and made, than to buy the tools to do all of it.

Probably going to buy some stuff from vertex soon my b day is coming up!
And yes some bars that look like slayers would be legit.

Wow only took 3 days for my SMx v2 to get here!!! Thanks!
Although my only question is that since its the v2 and has the threaded insert, do I need a starnut? I'm running hic by the way. I'm not sure how to connect it....
Also does the threaded insert come separate or Is it built in? I didn't receive anything besides the axel with it.

What rob said. Honestly I think there is something weird going on. You are all basing your opinions off a guy on scooter resource, who could honestly be lying. I'm gonna laugh when all the stuff brakes because it's not what this random guy is saying on here.

Mark, your cap will go over the HIC sleeve and the screw goes throught the cap and will thread into the threaded insert. No more star nut! A VertX design by the way!
I think I may have gotten a v1 by mistake. Umm ill post pics because I'm not entirely sure. I'll pm them to you.
