Difference between Stone Glacier frames (Krux Evo, X-Curve, R3)

[pawlyb]

How does one select a frame? Are there better frames for different body styles? Do they have different advantages? Happy to hear anyone’s experiences. Thanks

No personal experience, but have been looking at them lately. They have this video on their site.

Thanks for that link, been wondering the same thing. I missed that video on the website somehow.

I was debating the same thing and picked up the xcurve mostly based on the stellar reviews. It seems like R3 and Evo have straighter stays and thought more like the MR packs which is what i have experience with. I could be totally off. So far I like it but need to add some heavier weight to see if it rides better.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

X-Curve: 3 lbs curved stays, best for heavy use
Krux Evo: 2 lbs 7oz straight carbon stays, best for shorter torsos
R3: 2 lbs 14oz basically the same as the Evo, except some frame reinforcement and 2" waist belt webbing for sidearm carry, and Berry Compliant
