Uh, isn't that an AY? which was based on the Ashura? So its a revamp of of a previous model, renamed in honor of an earlier model, ridden by the same rider...?i welcome all and any bendy frames ( i ride bendies myself, and feel they are more ergonomic than diamond frames) but i don't see the need for the equivalent of advertising "pomp".just admit that the Ares A-plus sucked for front wheel tricks (compared to the Ay, that is), get more props from riders who know better.

Yup, they did, in limited quantities.and the frames wouldn't cost a bomb if they didn't insist on shipping Japanese made tube-sets to taiwan for machining and welding and re-shipping the packed frames back to Japan for distribution and reshipment...all the freight cost and taxes are passed-on to the riders.the yen might have dropped, but Ares raised the distributors/ dealers cost; so the end product end up costing the same...
