Sugihara. Vs. original bars.

[TIMON]

Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of fitting sugihara bars to our saws.

Are they harder wearing?

Better performing?

Better value for money?

Are the lightweight ones really that much lighter?

I know they look really good but there has to be more than that to it. ???

Thanks. Timon

It does of course depend on what the "original" is - but usually yes.

Just bought one myself... Was thinking of getting a sugihara 18" for it. What mods has it got?

Thanks, Timon

I have tried Oregon , Canon , Windsor Speed tip , GB titanium , and of course the standard chocolate Husky bars and if you weigh it all up, cost , longevity , quality of engineering and balance I would say ( and its only my opinion ) that the Sugi Lightweight Pro bars come top . Just me though ....

[TIMON]

Sounds like you have a fair idea of the market.....

Really loving the 560.. Was on 346xp and Stihl 261 before.

Are sugihara at lot dearer??

Thanks

I'm in same boat, just got a 560 and putting a 18"bar on it! Where's the best place to get the sugihara bars?

Best place for Sugi bars is from Rob D on here ( chainsaw bars ) He will give you a discount for being an arbtalk member . My 560 has a MM but not sure what else Pete did . It does however pull an 18" .325 driven by an 8 pin sprocket and is rapid ......
