If you are vertically challenged, you may want to pass on these as from 21 to 16 is 2.5" higher in the front and 21 to 18s are 1.5" higher in the front. kinda reminds me of the old drag cars with the straight axles with their noses up in the air, oh well another passing idea

21x3.50 front and 18x4.25 rear. Front and rear are lowered 1". Love it.

I have done both set ups on bikes, this is not the case. When you run the 21" front, you will raise the bike ~1 1/4" and when you do the rear from a 16" to a 18" you raise the rear ~1/4" max. Thats why many of us have lowered the front 1"

I didn't ride that bike so I'm just repeating what the salesmen said. He has a RK and said he road the 21 incher. I don't know the suspension set up but it felt top heavy lifting it off the stand. The front looked kinda "jacked up" so maybe it just wasn't really set up well.

Is this the DNA website? If so, I don't see the 52 spoke.

I'm putting a 21 Weld on the front as we speak. I dropped my rear an inch and no need to put a rear wheel on.......not for the 1/2 inch or so of it that you can actually see. A friend of mine put only a front on last year and looks/handles great!!!!
