Default Akra Race or Evo?

Does anyone know what the weight difference is between the 2?
I was planning on the full race for the price difference but i was just curious how much the difference was.

In my personal opinion if you are not racing go for the RACE

For the street go with race. Unless you have more money than brains buy the EVO. Difference is about $600

According to the info from Akro the approximate weights for the S1K are:

Stock - 25.93 lbs

Race - 12.19 lbs

Evo - 9.24 lbs

The Evo costs about $200/lb to save the 3lb weight difference over the Race syst. weight.

Why would you go with the race version? You bought a $15000 plus motorcycle and putting an aluminum exhaust Get the titanium exhaust (evo) and save weight?

Not everyone wants to spend about 800 bones more to save that type of weight which can me achieved by changing the battery.
