Priorities on a stock scooter

[microdownunder]

Thanks guys,
@toddjamin I've removed the adjustable backsweep line
We're going to keep trying to improve these so I'll pass the feedback on to our factory and head office to bear in mind for any redesigns.

i know dub post but whatever, lets start out with the positive critisizm

im going to start out with the fact that you are whooping ass compaired to every other large-scale companies, so kudos to you.
first watch the color scheme bub, looks like i left my box of crayons in the car and it melted together. that can simply be changed by cutting out the anodization on booth of the cores, or changing it to a nutural color
the scs tripple looks fairly weak, i may be wrong but i feel like that wouldnt grab our bars and forks well enough, might wanna switch both to your quad
watch the two/three piece bars, by watch i mean throw in the garbage, it adds extra weight and no serious riders use them, exceptions are scepters, and they will forever be the only exception.
and i know the guy above me touched on the graphic grip, just no, black is good.
again you are doing amazing on these things, but nothing comes out perfect the first time, trial and error man. i love the scs, really dope and the decks look amazing, the wheels look solid, and the y bars look pretty strong.

edit: make the headtube bit beefier and flush with the forks on the integrated one, would look 100 times cleaner, and whats the width of the deck?

 

[Bennett_J]

4.0 and 4.5 inch wide decks are the most popular, although 4.3 is growing.
19.5 through 20.5 are good deck lengths.
Head tube angle: 82.5* or 83*
One piece decks- Strong welds


The rest is pretty much the same with all decks.

Raw is a great color choice. You can't really go wrong with it. Also, simple, sturdy t bars with small gussets will work wonders. You don't need silly flashy bars that every new company thinks they have to have. There's also not too many tbars on the market right now.

the 180 looks heaps sick! the pro is good too but would be better without the holes imo

 

[Casey Hendrix]

i would get the mx 180

 

[Connorh333]

Also on the MX 180 get rid of the holes on the side of the headtube. Those will weaken it A LOT. Also for looks I would put plastic caps on the holes on the deck, like a district. Make the forks/headtube flush. Also A VERY important thing is to thicken up the bearing slots on the wheels. It prevents ovalization and makes an all around better wheel.

Guh those aren't y bars those are why bars
like why would you do that?

 

[gjdadj]

yeah dude, I agree with the post above. cane creek headset? bones? thats gonna cost so much more than just making them

might be pricey but it'd be good, and alot of companies do it, eg: madd gear use fsa headsets and krunk bearings, you dont see it often but what i want out of a stock scooter is to be able to ride it stock and not have to replace anything, its why i ride a maddgear

 

[Connorh333]

Don't bring up Madd Gear, It will give this company the Wrong idea.

 

[gjdadj]

the tripple clamp scs is a stupid idea, sorry, also you wrote 3% when its three degree
and @connor hedden: madd gear is good, im sick of people mocking it, it makes mostly strond and reliable scooters and parts, unlike any other company, with a madd you can ride it till it snaps from stock, no other STOCK scooter will do that, also it has reasonably cheap parts, its a perfect compant to get ideas from, they started amazingly and have revolutionised the scooter industry sience the beginning, it has what i think as the best team in the world and the best single rider in the world (ryan williams) theyre also probably the biggest richest and well known company out, theyve grown with the riders and in my opinion make better parts in every way then any other company in the world, so please stop saying madd suck, ive had parts from every scooter company out, phoenixes plain suck in my opinion, and tsi's are too expensive, dont diss madd.

My thoughts on this scooter:

1. Riser bars in a stem aren't Micro's style.
2. Round holes in the deck/forks isn't Micro's style.
3. The name: MX Pro - Are you kidding me?
4. A triple clamp SCS is very illogical.
5. Griptape design doesn't really make sense to me.
6. Flanges on the grips aren't Micro's style.
7. Those wide gusset bars aren't Micro's style, AT ALL.
8. Colour Scheme: Red Gold Silver Black White, WAY too much and it doesn't look attractive.
9. These scooters don't look good in photos, nor would they look good in a video.

Now I'm going to voice my opinion on the Xtreme brand as a whole:

1. BRING THESE BACK.

Back in the day, everybody LOVED these wheels, and we were SO disappointed when they were replaced with the Micro XT Wheels, and THEN replaced with those pink/green 'made in italy' wheels with the silly graphic on.

2. When people (pre-2008) think about Micro, they tend to associate the brand with this scooter:

The Micro Xtreme Sprite. Yeah it was very bottom-heavy, but this pretty much established the colour scheme (gun-metal grey, black, beige, some blue) that they've used up until the MX Park. I prefer the more dull colour combinations since it can reflect on the 'seriousness' of the product. Why did you change it????? People won't look at that and think 'Micro'.

I'mma add to this.

3. Why the FUCK did you stop making these?:

It was a great design, it was lightweight AND it looked good. It also meant that people who could no longer get the much-missed FrenchID Alu v.1 Bars, they could just get these. These kick the ass of those bars on that scooter.

4. Apparel:

This is a cool T-Shirt, I wish I saw these in circulation.

IMO, you've changed the style WAY too much.

Focus on making it really strong THEN work on making it a lighter.

4.5 inch wide deck
Concave deck
Option to have backsweep
4130 Chromoly bars
At least 3mm thick fork tube
Make it compatible with other brands of parts. Don't do what MaddGear did with their head tube.
