Default Cages & Your Thoughts

Ok I'm going to be in the market really soon for a good cage. I have heard alot about FI cages, but they don't seem to be really durable for beginers. 905 cages want to roll the bike onto the gas tank. And powers cages are really bulky. Now on the other hand MDX cages seem to be the way to go now. I heven't really heard anything bad about them yet, so tell me your opinions and post up some pics if you got them.

i have a 1st gen 905 on my 900 and i've looped 4 times plus several attempted chainsaws and each time the cage took the hit really well. it's pretty bent up now but thats expected. i would definetly consider 905 again when i need another cage.

MXD is a sweet cage and i've never heard anything bad about them, but checkout www.sickinnovations.com they make a sweet cage for f4i's.

I've been looking around for a cage too and the research I've done pretty much brings it down to two choices: Freestyle Ingenuity and 905. the 905 cage is sleeker and built very strong but it does lend itself to rolling onto the tank in a wreck. The Freestyle Ingenuity cage has huge extended frame sliders to prevent rolling and they have recently improved their design to strengthen things up. I think I'm gonna got with the FI cage.

bro, get a cage with sliders! sliders are what will keep the cage working fine. when a cage w/o sliders hits the ground, it bends. check out my hommies at www.pnkages.com jason, at PNKAGES is done pushing out cages for now. but those things are bullet proof. FI or Powers cages are probably going to be your best bet! or, you can check out www.badphish.com and click on the tigershark cages. simple cage design with a spring loaded slider on them. so you get 3X the protection. ive gone through 2 905s. ive owned one PNKAGE and one FI and i gotta say those two can take a huge beating. just my 2 cents. good luck finding one you like.

Yeah I forgot about them. I really like the look of those, but haven't really heard of anyone using them yet. I was going to get on of theirs, but I'd like to hear some opinions first.

Thanks for the reply Mike_Stunts I don't really like the look of the 1st one and I'm still not sure about the FI cages. I'm sure that they both will take a beating, but just not sure yet. I'm planning on waiting until this winter to get one, so I have some time to look.

Thanks for the replies guys.

As for being sleek, i dont think you can beat the FI. Definately doesnt look as bulky as any other cage...

and when it came down to me getting a cage, i started looking at all the pro's that ride F4i's and it seems like 90% of them rock the FI cage, so thats what i went with...

i've been looking into these TygerShark.net. Don't know how well they hold up yet though but they look sick and I dig the spring loaded sliders

Sounds like I'm going to get a sick cage. A few guys that I have been talking to said that its the strongest cage on the market right now. I haven't heard anything bad about their product and their customer service seems to be top notch. I'll let you know when I decide to get one but sick innovations is at the top of my list right now.
