New Gear Release 2022!

But it's an XL platform. 16.5 x 14.5. These Lattitude platforms are mid sized.

Even the Predator XL costs more than the Predator, and those are just castings.

Xwing

Weight: 40 oz (weight calculated with
CAD model, exact weight may vary
slightly)
Dimensions: 11.95 in X 16.35 in
Material: 6061 Aluminum
MADE IN THE USA

Don’t know… don’t care. Looks like a better more functional design for me than either of the custom gear platforms.

"Weight calculated with CAD model, actual weight may vary slightly." I wonder how that will shake out.

I'd love to try one, they look nice. I've said this before. But to hit those weights, there's minimal material. I would like to see how they flex, though I don't doubt they are well designed.

I'm not real worked up over the cost, just don't see a price comparison to the Ambush as legit. The X-Wing is not an XL platform unless you're cutting just one.

So you just went with the X-Wing? Or one of each?

Most CAD programs will calculate weight very accurately. +/- a few ounces.

I agree the comparison is a XL platform vs a not so XL Platform.

They don't seem to have changed from the prototypes, it's a weird clause. Produce one and give a weight. They should claim "Industry Variance" ... we all know about that.
 
I always wait a few months. Pre ordering one now means you get it first. The rest of us will all pick it apart and analyze yours then make statements about how one is better than the other. Latitude will have plenty in stock at that point. Then buy one. But like the one stick, wait a few and avoid all the drama and hassle. Get the second round once the changes and redesign has been done.

The only advantage to buying now is....what will they cost in August...
