X-Valve Hoopla

[rdb123]

What's all of this X-Valve chat about?

I've looked through posts and haven't found many details on this new thing except possible release dates. Can someone fill me in? Does it recharge faster? Lighter? etc.

Thanks

you guess it, it made of aluminum instead of SS

it will perform just as well as a retro valve, it is just lighter. it will be released in the next week or two.

Heh, so looks like I'm going to shell out 200+ dollars plus a trade-in just to make my whole setup 3oz lighter.

Thanks for the info guys.

no you won't pay $200+ for a lighter valve, you're also paying for a level 10 and reactive trigger. If you have a ReTro, you'll pay less than $200, most likely.

Ah ok. One thing I forgot to tell you: I have an SFL.

well it will even out the weight a little depending on your setup, and you can also annodize the valve to match your gun.

Lol well anodizing will cost at least another 50. So with my current valve plus Level10 trade-in, I'd still be spending 200+ to shave off 2oz that unbalance my gun. I love this sport! =)

well not all of us have SFLs, so consider this: the guy with a classic valve gains more than you, but come on, you still have a SFL

[Xerces]

ill be happy to take that nasty ol sfl off your hands if you're worried about poor weight distribution

Dark:

why would it be cheaper to trade in a RT valve for the XValve than a Classic. think of it from AGD's POV. it costs them $200 to make an XValve(i dont hae any idea, lets say thats true). why is a RT valve better than a classic as a trade in?

[darklord]

kev-

point taken, I just assumed a ReTro trade in would be cheaper... back in an older thread that was talkin about x-valves and their cost, people were wondering about that. I just assumed so, which is why I said most likely. Sheesh

[Xerces]

used retros can sell for 200+ used classics can sell, for 100 BEST

[Ryknow]

does ne1 know if I trade in a classic valve w/ a LX in it if I get the LX taken off the classic and put on the X-Valve and it is still the same trade it price or whatever? someone fill me in on the X-valve LX thing...thx
