I am taking a wild guess here, but I think the design of the rod is different. Not a great deal, but I think they did something to the edges of the rods to give them a bit more strength and rigidity. I bet Motofool would know.

So they have the regular, Eagle rods, and the Extreme ones. Are either of those the ESP H-rods? That's what I just got. I'm curious what I got in terms of top of the line, etc.

Good question! emoji

stronger rod bolts is the difference....

eagle makes 2 rods I beam and H beam then they give u stronger rod bolts in the extremes...

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

so....stronger rod bolts is the only reason the extremes are listed at $150 more?

Mine came with the ARPs. I take it that's a good thing! emoji

Maybe the extremes come with solid, hardened Ti ARP monster bionic bolts then. emoji

Thanks Bill!
