Longer travel suspension and 21” wheel for RX3 ?

Meloman · 06-25-2018, 04:22 PM

The longer travel suspension (6.3 front and 6.5 rear) and 21” front wheel on my TT250 are a pleasure both on and off road.

Anyone have any idea whether those components can be fitted to an RX3 ?

Anything will fit on anything if you have enough cash. If you are looking for a bolt on swap, not likely. Might be worth a check to see how close the triple trees are.

Spudrider put a 21" front wheel on his RX3.....there is a thread on it here somewhere....

Buck, that wasn’t an RX3.

Oops, that was supposed to read Huck not Buck. Sorry.

Jontando, according to Spud Rider’s post he installed the 21” wheel on his Zongshen 200GY-2. I haven’t found any posts about installing it on his RX3. If you find the thread please post the link.

Spud, you can chime in anytime here.

Jontando, my bad. Didn’t recognize that as a link. Got it this time. Thanks.

I am using 19' in front and it really makes bumps smooth out while climbing them... putting a larger wheel really adds abilities to your bike on offroads.. but I really like the idea of increasing the suspension travel that will improve much more....

I've looked everywhere, but couldn't find a direct replacement for the fork legs, at least not some easy replacement. Many enduro o dual sport chinese bikes have fork legs that look similar, but diameter at the triple tee attachement points are not the same. Rx3 is 48mm top, 54mm bottom, and the most common are 48/51.
