Trakker Mk2 armo gets thumps rom me. Had the Trident AS butit fell apart so replaced with MK2 Look in the right places the MK2 can easily be found for £300. Other then tha I can comment on te JRC STI had a old model it weighed a ton but handed anything I threw at i, the only problem is they weigh a ton.

i heard of a few leaking on the hooks i never had that problem with mine just gutted i got rid of it now.

bought a mk2 dillo for now and looking at the new trakker airflex for the summer months which is pretty similar to the razorback but with a peak on it ;)
