Broken Fury Swingarm
I have Fury with about 5000 miles on it in 1 yr 7 mo since I got it (bought from Andrenaline Bikes, delivered 8/30/2
007). The swing arm broke---completely into two pieces! It was just a little jump, only about 2 foot of air! My old Mongoose (XR1100, all aluminum monocoque frame and swingarm, purchased from Walmart) took just as much use and abuse but it still solid. I posted a couple of pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/drcbrath/ showing the break and the jump. I weigh just 180 lbs. I really thought I was buying a more rugged bike. I didn't think fatigue would get this bad this fast. Can I get a new swingarm? And what is it going to cost me?

Inappropriate?Hmmnn... not seen that before.. ;-(
The issues we've had with Fury swingarms I can count on one hand (0ne finger even...) so it's curious to see your picture.
Please can you send us a few more photos, plus a bit of descriptive text and copy of your purchase receipt to:
ushq@mountaincycle.com - if you are based in the US
euhq@mountaincycle.com - if you are based in Europe
And we'll check through Warranty with you.
I’m curious

Inappropriate?flippinell that is a real clean break.

Inappropriate?Holy ****!!!!!!
DId u crash?
Was the rear shock holding it all together?
Mas
I’m worried...

same thing happened to me the swing arm bolt has to be tight. if it is loose you get back and forth jiggle no up and down stuff that jiggle will make the swing arm fail. use blue locktight and the prob will vanish -
The bolt was tight. -
Inappropriate?haha.. clasic

Inappropriate?Mountain Cycle replaced the swingarm under warranty. John Kafulides delivered it personally! My bike will be back on the mountain Saturday!
I’m excited
