Nice looking axle for those of you that haven't switched to a 250X/300EX axle w/spacer.
As the description states, splines show minimal wear.

Do you think the "media cleaned and silicone coated" makes it appear nicer than any of the other used axles?
Or is it actually a low hour machine?

Silicone coated may as well mean sprayed with WD-40 after blasting.

It may be a good axle, but it's going to need some type or coating/plating before use, or it will rust very quickly.

The bad part is having to thoroughly remove any remnants of silicone. That stuff is a painter's nightmare.

People see clean and they want it. But, it's just bead or vapor blasted and it has to be coated somehow...

Quite a few guys have switched to the 300EX with a spacer, other guys have asked me about the 400EX axle but I've never tried to install one. They use the same bearing, so it fits in the carrier. The 400EX axle will be too wide in some respects but I'm not sure what it takes to make one work. I'm fairly sure the 400EX sprocket hub bolts right on to the 350X.
