shortend swingarm and jumping?

[364rocket]

i have read about the benefits of traction with the shortend swingarm is there any pros /cons to jumping and landing?? more/less stable in the air ?? any remarks would help thanks

shorter swinger will make it more predictable and stable when jumping. it also makes taking corners easier. the shorter you go the better its gonna handle, however i can handle my +2 pretty well. if you are gonna be racing mx or runnin xc events then shorter will be better for you. the traction you will get will be even better as well. youll basically be sittin your ass right over the rear tires.

I have a -2 and it really is more predictable in the air with it. You don't get the kick in the rear as much when leaving the lip so it makes the front end feel lighter.

you can leave the face of jumps a lot faster with a -2 than a stocker.....the quad is some much easier to jump and throw around in the air.

I always heard a -4 is good for mx.
