Same material or not, it is a different design which could make a huge difference in the way it flexes. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, without seeing testing on it, I can't say for sure. However, with many years of riding and racing real bikes under my belt, I have a little knowledge of bikes and design, the the swing arm
on the x22 looks a lot better.
Also, according to USA pocket bikes, it has a stiffer suspension. Stiffer is not always better, but for a 200lb guy like me, it would be better.
You can also see a considerable difference in the frame design, and the frame looks better from what little I can see on the x22.
If the bikes are so identical, then why is the after market
so much more limited? I mean, you are shooting all this info out as fact with out any basis of proof. Are we supposed to take as fact because you say so or did you get you info from a guy
who talked to a guy that overheard a conversation while sitting on the toilet in the mens room?
If all bikes were the same, the prices would probably reflect the same.
More expensive does not mean better. What is better for you will depend on you. Unfortunately, for most of us, we won't know what is better unless we ride each one, and we can't do that unless we buy each one.
However, speed wise, they will all be relatively the same and perception of great difference will either be due to a poorly tuned/wore out bike, or purely placebo.
