Yes.
The Majestic is a custom bug also, I will need to know your size and abilities to help you get the right size and set up.
The only one here in the US is still being tuned for the owner. The bug comes in X-small, Small, Medium, and Large. The cost is about 2800.00 plus shipping. Most of the cost is dependent on wheel type and tire type. The Majestic is a beach buggy with bigfoots.
I am 5'10", and 200lbs and I will fit a small, if I was 6'2" and 260lb, I would be in a Medium. I am not aware of anyone who would use a Large. It comes in black, and stainless.

As soon as csa_deadon gets the bug tuned, there will be a write up of the comparison to the above bugs.

Not in market for a new bug just yet, Jeff, but always interested in what Libre bring out and how it performs. My only real complaint with mine (Vmax) is the seat is a little large for me but with the swan neck downtube and extensions on the back, it certainly is starting to handle well.

you might have the older seat style, the new ones have a narrower bottom that feels smaller. you can also add some more padding to the side rails.

Where is the controversy? The arguments, hurt feelings and gnashing of teeth? Good job Jeff! I wonder why the Apexx tended to break loose quicker than the MG. The only difference I can imagine would have an effect on that is the rake and trail of the fork. Doesn't the MG have a laid back fork?

I would say, Bobby, the reason is the MG has 4" wheels and the Apexx has 8". The MGs tire is rounded were the Apexxs tire is flat across the tread. Would make the differance in a race I would think.
I will trade tires next weekend and see what happens. Hope to take the Ivanpah with to add to the game.
