Default polyurethane rotoflex?

It seems alot of people have been asking abot rotoflexes lately, I was wondering if there were any polyurethane ones. We all know that polyurethane bushing are far superior to natural rubber it seems this same concept should be true for the rotoflex. Dang I just gave away a million dollar idea, I'll accept a free rototflex and full bushing set from any polyurethane manufactuers who want to use it.

P.S. neon green, and call it the tweakflex. Yea sounds good, "i got a new Tweakflex suspention", its got a good ring to it.

Polyurethane probably wouldn't stand up to the constant rapid flexing as well as a rubber rotoflex. That's a common complaint about poly bushes in the suspension, that they don't hold up to extreme flexing and disintegrate.

Really, is it that they withstand compression well but not streching? thats the first I've heard of a negative, other than the cost over rubber. Shattered dreams.
