Chassis

Just wondering what people think and why, what’s the best chassis in the class A?

SS I'd say going from class B. Main reason being it seems they can be made lighter much easier; even when taking time effort and chucking money at it sub 160 seems impossible, whereas some SS are bang on or under the 154kg limit

isnt the SS slightly more sport orientated too with its steering head angle?

Got to be the monster as it's derived from the 851 super bike so has all the right geometry & is more adjustable than the SS, as for weight there's bugger all in it,
more good bit's around for the monster as lots of parts from 748/9** models fit.

Just my opinion others will say the SS is better & to be honest I think they both work well for the power a DD bike can produce.

I have built DD bikes from both.
