Based on VPI's known design of the Avenger Tripod Chassis, the Avenger Direct takes the Direct Drive technology and marries it with the Avenger Series. The Avenger design has always been known as a "sandbox" type of design giving the owner the ability to mount up to 3 arms at any length or manufacturer model.
The heart of the Avenger Direct comes from VPI's proven HW-40 Anniversary Direct Drive model. Housed in an engineered and machined vented casing, the direct drive is ready to spin at the start of a button with 33 and 45.
