CSC RX3 Design Changes - year by year
Here's a feature design list I've been tracking on the CSC RX3 for each model year. It's not intended as a comprehensive feature list ... more like a change list. Unless called out, all features from the previous model are assumed to continue in the next one.
Feel free to mention anything I missed on the US-spec bike. Prototype Bike - demo'ed, but never sold in US
2015 Production Model - US
2015.5 Model - US & Canada
2016 Model - US & Canada

Thanks for compiling this information, Detours.
I have added this thread as a link in the RX3 Tech Sticky, under the Modifications subheading.

Hey all,
I'm about to buy a prototype bike here in Peru. I'm wondering if it's worth it to change to a later, 4-bearing, cushioned-hub 17" rear wheel? Is there that much of a difference in smootheness or longevity? |

The very early bikes imported to the US had some rear bearing problems. CSC started stocking Japanese replacements. If your 'prototype' bike came with the Chinese bearings I'd want to change them out, no matter which style you get. If your bike is fitted with the 15" rear, like the ones sold in China, I'd switch to the 17" rear just because there are lots more tire options for 17".

Good to know about the bearings, thanks for the tip.
It doesn't seem to be too much of an issue to find the tires, personally I'm more concerned with it lacking a cushioned hub. Can one retro-fit this to the 15? As I think about it more and more, a 17" rear wheel might be difficult to come by here (and expensive) |
