some info on the phase 2, not sure if its been posted already as i tried searching but couldnt find anything, im wondering why razor singled out scorcher forks to try boast their products? scorchers dont claim to be the best forks in the world so why would razor include the bit about their forks being better than scorchers? and im wondering about the wheels? if they get stone chips do they regenerate over night or something?
i got all the info from www.Engadinecycles.com.au

The X deck extrusion is a big leap forward. The X provides a mechanical connection between the top deck and the base. The X ties the down-tube to the base without having to weld it to the lower plane. Welding heat – especially on thin aluminum structures – causes a heat affected zone which is an area that potentially can be significantly weaker than the original material and the weld.
By eliminating the extra welding at the base – but still retaining the connection by virtue of the X-shape, Razor has the best of both worlds… less welding heat and a fully combined structure
The fork is USA CNC from billet 6061 T651 (over hardened). Razor have found the Scorcher forks develop surface-stress fractures so they have upped the material spec from what is currently available in the market..
The 88A 110mm accessory wheels are made using the highest quality Japanese and USA polyurethane materials. The ride is an amazing combination of smooth and low rolling resistance. The wear characteristics are excellent as well – as good as or better than anything out there. The polyurethane material is so good that any deformation that is caused during riding the wheel will return to its original shape after riding.
Razor use the Swiss style bearings which use super precision Japanese balls matched to the best grade bearing housings. You will find these roll better and won’t have the dreaded bind that the ABEC bearings can have in aluminum hubs.
