    Anyone have any thoughts on Cush Drive Hubs?

    ie: Essential, Good, ok, Not needed?

    Considering getting one for my 07 TE610.
    My old 04 TE610e used to have one, and i can't see why the drivetrain on the 07 model is any different.

    Any ideas?

    I have an '03 TE610E and it has cush drive in clutch and rear wheel. I assume Husky considered this overkill and didn't put the cush drive wheel on new TE610 for this reason.

    From what I read about the change, Husky decided a "cush" clutch assembly was enough & a lighter bike setup than having both "Cush" clutch & hub.
