TM144 Specs and Info:
league. If you're a "dare to be diff erent" rider,
you'll really like the TM brand. Is it expensive?
Some might consider it so, but for a hand-
built quality machine, it's not ridiculously
priced at $8495 full retail. Surprisingly, for
such a specialized, low production machine,
parts pricing is very aff ordable. For example,
the hand- made billet rear brake lever retails for $59.95,
where an a ermarket billet lever for a competing brand
retails between $125 and $179. TM's own rear sprocket
retails for only $41.95. Even though it might be consid-
ered pricey initially, it's actually right on par with main-
tenance costs of other mainstream brands. As exotic as
the TM brand is, they are gaining in popularity. Af-
termarket companies such as Pro X, Twin Air, Vertex,
Wossner, Pro Circuit, EBC, Motion Pro and SMC off er
replacement components.
