Other xmetal pole vs rrp pole

[bobob729]

well i need some opinions. the xmetal pole comes with all to put it on. What does the rrp pole come with. I already have the bracket for the xmetal pole. but should be the same for the rrp. so i guess the question which one to go with?

Dont forget about the ATP poles too. they are nice as well.

seems its preference between the two styles, if you like the stock or twin tube look

with a twin tube you do have the ability to keep going shorter and shorter which is not possible with the xmetal style as it has a fixed adjustment

true has anyone had problems with breaking the new xmetal pole

RRP is havier than X, but it looks better imo . You can seal your hood and use the 2 holes bracket as a breather. RRP does not come with everything as X, and its more expensive.
The new style billet RRP is much lighter and it looks even sexier, but much more $$$

buddy of mine grabbed a x-metal pole at wavedaze couple year back and it broke, but saying that x-metal/jetmaniac replaced the pole

have heard of a couple breaking when they first came out but havent heard of any issues in a year or so, i know x-metal take quality serious so im sure they figured out where the issue was pretty quick

I have heard that the complete pole from X metal does not come with any hardware for the bracket (stainless bolts, nuts, washers etc) and that you need to pickup your own. not a huge added expense, but it all adds up.

 

[bobob729]

what all does the rrp come with

 

[superramjet]

RRP comes with pole only

 

[bobob729]

so no hardware or bushings or chinpad?

 

[jahimmelspach]

X metal comes with.... *Complete kit includes Pole, Mounting Bracket, Backing Plate, Dual Bolts, Chinpad, and Hoses.
RRP pole comes with the pole and bushings ( saw bushings on a pic on their site) and i think thats it.
anyone disagree?

I had a buddy break his XM Pole, RRP IMO is the way to go... I'll be on my 3rd one tomorrow, Ordering the new one looks like... RRP comes with the brackets tubes and 2 bushings and 2 tubes, you need to buy a dual breather bracket, Last I checked blowsons was the cheapest

 

[bobob729]

i was thinking the same thing ive been looking but its faster to ask someone who has bought one out straight

 

[bobob729]

if only the rrp came with a chinpad

 

[munki63]

the stock one works, Ski Clinic has the cheapest alternative i think

RRP is considered baller look and xm is sleek and trim. I really like my xm -2 to -5 adjustable thus far. It was just 9 lbs by itself on a digital scale.

 

[munki63]

Ive heard... not experienced, that the XM pole flexes a bit where the tube type don't....Dont forget the titan as well

 

[bobob729]

well being that i own jace forest's ski now this is why i ask.. he was running a xmetal on it and i was planning on it but i like the rrp also.

 

[Freakrider]

I doubt you would break the XM pole.

 

[bobob729]

so do I
