Mark, l have never ridden a rokon, l love to look of them, l am temping to buy that one in USA. but not game to press the little button, just incase the wife here it.

Can am I was reading in maybe VMX mag that the rokons suffered heavy brake fading is that true? If it isn't I obviously didn't read it in VMX and I suspect my PE would be just as bad on brakes fading.

Frosty,the ATK's were known for rear disc brake fade. I haven't experienced any fade (but I can hardly be accused of riding hard enough to fade the brakes ). The factory riders bled air into the brakes to make them a bit more manageable.

Been watching those two for a week now Stan. Maybe.......

Note the disk brakes and the lack of a clutch lever. I wonder what they are like to ride?

No need for a clutch lever on an Auto! The disc brakes work fine - maybe too well as they aren't as progressive as newer systems. And they are a lot of fun to ride, especially on greasy hills! Here's mine.

Was being smart about the clutch lever . I thought that they were a variable drive and not a real auto at all
