This is the first car I've ever seen a failure. That said, is it faulty? No. Is it weaker than other brands? My opinion is yes. Anyone with a failure - email Xray so they're aware.
I went ahead and shimmed mine up 1mm both front a rear. I'm still really happy with the car, and will carry a spare, but most don't carry spares of that part.
Fair enough point. Ive owned the rb6, 22 2.0, b5m ect ect and broken parts on them all. The xb2 has been just as tough if not more so than my previous rides.
My theory is that there was either a bad batch of aluminum. And yes, the rear hanger would have probably been better off with a stock setting of 1 deg anti squat and 3 deg of toe.
