The first link shows a picture of a laminated bar with a non replaceable tip, it says techlite right on it.........right? So not all techlite bars have a replacement tip. I have yet to see those bars, but the picture doesn't lie.

yea iam sure husky WILL come out with a 28in laminated bar WITHOUT a replacement tip and call it a techlite

I too would like to see a 24" TechLite in .058...

28" is nice, but I just don't need it.

 

[blsnelling]

I would love to have a 32" .050.

 

[wendell]

I would love to have a 36" .063 .404 in Sachs Dolmar large mount. :hmm3grin2orange:

Speak for youself!

did you READ the LINK. that just a stock promo photo.

from the website

"The unique features specific for TechLite™ include a laminated guide bar with an aluminium centre and a sword constructed in layers of steel, aluminium and steel (S-A-S). A laminated guide bar is highly uncommon in sizes 20" and over. The TechLite™ bars come in lengths of 20" and 28" and fits all models over 60 cc. "

AGAIN ALL TECHLITE are LAMINATED with REPLACEMENT tips.

Hi, the first link is for a techlite bar that is NOT a replacement tip. Check out the picture. This new type was actually the point of my post. I was wondering if anyone has tried this type yet or not. Thanks.

I guess you can forget that option - those bars are hardly meant for the 166.......

 

[blsnelling]

Ok, well there are two different types then. The "traditional" laminate style which is new to me,

and the one that everyone is already familiar with, the replaceable sprocket tip

These.

 

[SawTroll]

These.

Thanks - when I see it, I remember having seen it before - but I have not seen any other reference to a non-RSN Techlite.....

...time will show what actually hits the market, as usual!

Yeah, Husqvarna has been strange about the release of the Techlite series in general over here in the US. Very few dealers even know they exist. I've never seen the non-replaceable version before.
-For what it's worth, I asked a Jonsered dealer about a Jonsered "lite" version and they said Tilton confirmed they do exist but are not importing them. Never seen any info to confirm.

Anyone know if these are available in 32"? I'd like one for my 390XP.

Just 20 and 28 AFAIK Brad. But I sure like my 28. Very nice. And congrats on that 390xp. That thing really is a monster!

 

[porsche965]

I like the 28" Tech Lite as well, don't think they make a 32"...yet.

A 28" on that 390XP you built would be a blast!

How are the bar rails wearing on the techlite bars?

 

[mdavlee]

Baileys had a 37" listed at one time but when I called and asked it was a mistake. 20" and 28" are the only sizes with .050" and .058". I was hoping for. 063" but no luck.

 

[komatsuvarna]

I hope these bars are good. I ordered a 20'' .050 the other day....cant believe I dropped that much on a 20'' bar !!!

 

[blsnelling]

I have a 28" but it's on my 372XP. I'm considering another for my 390XP but would like to go with a 32".

 

[Stihl n Wood]

I like 28" bars the most, not that much longer than a 24/25 and if your running big dawgs the 28 really feels like a 2 footer without the dawgs. I'm rather tall so slinging around a bit longer bar feels just right. Plus its nice with these light bars because you get the feel of a 24 overall anyways. I'm running the ES lights but trying to convince my buddy to put a 28 techlite on his 372. Which at the moment he's running a standard 24. Some people are just afraid to try something new I guess.

 

[MacLaren]

A 28" Light is super nice IMHO. Much lighter than a regular 25" and more reach.
