First Impressions: The 2019 CSC RX4

Riding the NEW 2019 CSC RX4 – It’s a BEAST!

A stunning RX4 in the San Gabriel Mountains. The paint is “Tangerine Pearl”, the new fastest color.

Hey guys, Joe Berk here, reporting as ordered by the big boss, Steve Seidner.  This is the first of a series on the RX4, with a “get yer motor running” intro here and the rest on the ExNotes blog.  Here we go!

I rode my TT 250 to the CSC plant early today and picked up a new RX4. Steve asked me to ride the RX4, make observations, and write about the new bike on the ExhaustNotes and CSC blogs. I’ll be preparing several blogs on the RX4; this is the first of many.

I rode my favorite Azusa Canyon, East Fork Road, Glendora Mountain Road, and Glendora Ridge Road route. It’s one of my favorite rides, it’s just under 50 miles of the best riding on the planet, and I knew it would give me a good chance to wring out the bike’s handling. The RX4’s handling was my biggest concern going into this review, as the RX4 I first rode in China two years ago left a bad taste. That early bike was porky and it handled poorly.

First significant observation: The RX4’s handling is phenomenal. It’s really, really good. I’ll get to that in more (just click here to get the rest of the story…)
