I'm confident that they are aluminum because i'm pretty sure that's the only metal that can be a anodized, where steel can't be. razor forks they were only chrome-plated which CAN be done to steel. Or another explanation is that madgear paid about $15 a fork to get them gold-plated to match the anodized deck, but probably not. AND the forks are forged which is fucking awesome! AND billie is talking about a forged deck, which might be a little overkill(but isn't that what we all strive for?). That is something i've only dreamed about ever since Quebec did it with their fork, the only drawn back is that aluminum when poured doesn't do so well with nooks and krannys but it CAN be done. Just think about when forged decks are made, we can show up bikers because it is too impractical to do with a bike frame. Maddgear, major props for everything, you are too awesome.
yeah i didnt say anodized indeed u can only anodize aluminum, i said coated with sum thing like zinc/chromo coat it dont have be silver dude u can get it done in a range of colours
& really 15 bucks to coat it isnt what they would pay in china, i can get alu forks anodized in australia or electronplated meaning chrome for less then 15aud each, in china it possible adds what 0.05cents in usd to do this maybe max cost like .40cents
the hole MGP scooter would only be costing a little above 15usd to make each & there got zinc plated forks & anodized deck, plus a polish on top that
to the Canada dude, hoesntly if you were in australia & you can get a ultra for 250aud cause thats what price they are in our country, or choose 2 MGP scooters & still have around 50bucks out of the 250 to spend at the shops when u ride, or even get a eagle metal core, i doubt you would get a ultra if you lived in australian when u could have got 2 scooters & a spare of each part for when your first one breaks
2 MGP scooters will last longer then a ultra, my ultra was fked in one afternoon, again with a MGP your warranty might be ok, when with razor they dont give a fk if u broke the ultra headtube in one day, if you got a MGP broke it one afternoon i dare say madd will issue you a new deck, on that fact the forged decks none have broken as yet so id say there going ok
Back to Nitro's as this is what the threads about, towards ash's comments yeah im not 100% sure if there CNC made, im sure there forged as this is what the team madd gear have said, aagain i dont think there aluminum
