You can still get GIO's shipped to you in Alberta.
You can still get GIO's shipped to you in Alberta. The disclaimer on the GIO website says that if you live in Alberta close to a larger city you have to buy from the brick and mortar stores (for double the price!). I inquired about an X35 and was told that they would be happy to ship one to me and I only live 45 mins away from Edmonton! So, if your interested in a GIO, be sure to get a hold of them and ask. Save yourself lots of $$$ over buying one from a dealer!

Are you actually considering a new X35?

Considering it's likely to be between 223 and 230cc, probably not. Is your Konker still running the stock tires?

I think both you guys are correct. Mount some Kenda, K760 TrakMaster tires on your Konker, and you will conquer more trails than you could with a Gio X35.

Lol, I've got pretty scars to look at every day to remind me :wink:
I'll not ride on those tires ever again! Edit: Though... It was my fault really. No gear is just plain silly! (and dangerous!) |

I bought some AMBUSH tires off of eBay for $58 for the pair and those rock.
It allows my youngest to keep up to the 2-4x4 quads in everything EXCEPT deep mud.
