Swingarm Choices

It seems like an upgraded swingarm is on most grom clone owners’ wish list. There are a bunch of options out there. I’ve pretty much decided on a Kepspeed swingarm, mainly because of the needle bearings at the pivot point.

Here are my questions:

One model has an additional brace. Is it structurally necessary or is it just eye candy and added weight?

Kepspeed offers two lengths: stock and 6cm longer. Is there any advantage to 6cm added length? I know that when you add length, it helps with launch, but you add to the turning radius.

I know, I’m adding a precision swingarm to a not so precise frame, but it is what it is. Tell me what your thoughts are!

Enjoy the Ride!
