the pw80's are great for taking a beating. but they are heavy and pigs performance wise. good fun though. not a bad price. you could easily get $400 worth of fun out of it.

Aren't they also oil injected? If so I'd disable that and just mix my own premix for it.

Click to expand...

You can bunny hop them if you try hard enough. At nearly 200 lbs, I have personally cleared 12 feet on mine. The landings tend to be a little rough.

Just re-read my post, I have not bunny hopped 12 feet, that required a pile of dirt. I do hop it all the time though.

It's really more about finesse than strength.
