They are nowhere near as aggressive as a 300cc gas gas!Power is there, but not ridiculous.Ive even removed my flywheel weight that mine came with(2nd Hand).Have a go on one and make your own mind up.Positive points,airbox stays clean and dry so runs spot on all the time.Lots of power if needed.Well made.Ive had a few problems but mine was a previous loved/unloved bike.Fuel filter split and gearbox problem but all replaced under warranty upto a year old!Id have another!

'14 Gas Gas Raga Foot Peg Bracket Broken
Mine were standard and I've only had trouble when colliding with rocks.If you mean that aftermarket ones ,badly fitted with no common sense used,will bend the mountings yes.But any flex in the footrest would be so small as to be insignificant!But hey I bow to your superior knowledge in all things as usual you know better than anyone else with a degree!

'14 Gas Gas Raga Foot Peg Bracket Broken
Dad of 2 you don't half talk some poo!The colour of the break is fine light grey,yes as its steel!The size of the mounting on non std footrests can cause stress?Yes if the bolts dont fit and are loose?Aftermarket footrests are less flexible?WTF they are about ten cms long i doubt if they flex at all!The only thing stressing the frame on my bike is my 15 stone carcass and bouncing it off some large rocks!

'14 Gas Gas Raga Foot Peg Bracket Broken
Broke both sides on my replica 2014 in one trial!On std footrests so i cant see how aftermarket footrests have anything to do with it?Its only steel will weld with mig as well.
