[QUOTE="UselessPickles, post: 602617, member: 3256"] My justification for the extra cost of the Hexacones was that I really don't like the look of any other slip-ons. They all look too generic to me; just another cylinder with a logo on it, and many use an ugly steel strap for mounting. If I'm going to spend a chunk of money on an accessory for my bike, it's worth it to me to wait longer to save up some more cash to get what I really want. As for the reason for the extra cost, it's probably a combination of materials (titanium and carbon fiber), manufacturing of a more complex shape, and the bike-specific mounting hardware (a real mounting bracket; no straps).
