It has taken a extensive R&D programme to develop one of the most exiting things to hit the BLASTER world. The 701 QUICK STEER is by far the best hi-tech steering helm produced and now available at an affordable price. This system will change the way you ride. Never before have you had the option of dialing in your steering to suit your riding style, whether it be short course or freeride surf to freestyle hardcore, there is a setting for you. Once you ride a Blaster with QUICK STEER you won't be able to imagine going back to normal throw. As the system was being developed through countless proto-types, the test pilot programme I ran was to ensure that at the end of testing I had what I set out to achieve: a QUICK STEER to be unlike any other helm out there. It had to be robust and maintenance free; material used would be able to hold up to the conditions we play in, be adjustable, and look super cool. Weighing in at only 2.2 kg (4.8lbs) ,it is constructed out of stainless steel with a 6061 alloy bar clamp. It runs poly urethane bushings with a special slip agent added in the mix, this makes for super smooth turning action with no slop and will not wear out in our life time. The cable link arm has 7 settings ranging from stock to ballistic Only you will know what suits you after experimenting. only takes a few minutes to change to a different throw speed , you may even have a few different settings depending on what riding you're doing on that day. The knowledge and input I received from and put into this design came from the very best BLASTER FREESTYLERS in AUS. I knew from the start I did not want my helm to be loaded up with adapters, so I set the bar clamp at what seemed the most common height, 30mm (1.18 inches) over standard. Its then up to what offset you use in the bars. 100mm (3.93") seems common . For the type of bar, I went for the 28mm mx fatbar (1 1/8"). These bars are super strong along with a variety of bends & rises available and averaging 800mm (31.5 inches) wide, which gives you excellent control. We then experimented with moving the bar forward of centre to allow you to move your weight more forward for tight turning and barrel rolls . We settled on 40mm (1.57") forward. The steering system also comes with a bracket to relocate your cable if you set it out in the advanced settings. All in this Quick Steer is a Game Changer.
