Episode 290 Jason Blunt: “ The TRX 450R Build: Crafting a Dream Machine”

A casual discussion about shock setups on a 700 Raptor evolves into a captivating story about building a new machine tailored for Jason's son.

While the 700 Raptor was enjoyable on trails, it didn’t meet Jason’s expectations for cross-country (XC) style trails or country trails featuring motocross-style jumps.

Jason Blunt and I explored many different options. Our conversation took a turn when he inquired about my quad, asking about what I rode or owned.

The build process began months earlier, with the frame being powder-coated and reinforced with frame gussets. Many innovative ideas were implemented during this phase.

Mr. Blunt was decisive, saying, "I want this machine." We hadn’t even discussed the real price or colors when he specified his preference for an MX off-road style machine.

The build story is a dream come true for the Blunt family. Please join us in celebrating this achievement and thank you for your continued support.
