If you don't trust the crank, the Bitty Edition Speed XZB is only $419. I don't think anyone will be able to beat that price.
Yes, u r obviously correct on the pictured falcon to be an xzb based motor, i just got the impression people were thinkin it was speed based which is another animal completely......and as far as I knew it was commen knowledge that OS uncoated cranks were known to be soft material when compared to picco or novas, stemming from the vzb days....the xzb vspec is identical to a bo2 ninja crank with the exception of the dlc making the heart of the powerplant (crank) last maybe only 1/3 as long....no disrespect involved nor was i intentionly bashing the engine...it looked as if it was an overpriced vspec that are $230/240 all day, everyday...while if in fact a bitty speed is identical to the xzb speed, $420 would be a spot on # for street price....
