Default Christini AWD 300.

Steve Christini asked me to post up a brochure for his 300 AWD...

My apologies to Steve for my long delay in posting this for him...

I'm amazed they can hold that price point, considering all the extra hardware. Is it made here in the USA? I saw the prototype that used a modified GG frame and it was very nice. Good Luck to them.

The frames are imported glad they went with this one the other one with the PDS would of sucked. We saw Wally Palmers bike up at Tasky's over the summer for the Endurocross and it looked trick.

I got this reply from steve :

"Thanks Jeff! I appreciate that.
We are well on our way to selling out our 2nd production run! It?s going to be an exciting year as I believe we will reach 500 units (half will be our AWD 450).

Steve"

If you haven't read the race review of the new CHRISTINI AWD 300 in the February 2012, Dirt Rider, take a look. The review will answer a lot of the questions that people have.

If I rode lots of big hills I think I would be all over this bike. Wonder how that thing would do in snow and mud? BTW I agree the price is great.

There's an article in last months TBM that did a feature on a guy that had sent his existing bike (ktm350) off to christini and they converted it for ?3000...
Said that they would do any bike.

They raved about how easy it was to climb slippy snotty hills with it. And when they deactivated the system and tried to get up the same hills they couldn't even get half way up the hills.

I've seen the CRF250 version in action on hills. In Hancock a few years back, I came up on a guy with one. He could just casually ride up the steep bluestone covered hills like they were perffect dirt, where I had to be a lot more concerned with momentum. I think it would be great for technical trail riding or even racing in bad conditions. The downside is it may totally ruin your proper technique on a normal bike.

Glenn I don't have a lot of proper riding technique although I been working at it for 40+ years lol . So I may have to really look into this bike. Thanks for the info guys.
