It's a good looking cage. If your looking for something that will hold up in a low speed roll (25 or slower) that would be great. If your looking for something that will hold up at freeway speeds you would need to do some more triangulation for it to hold up.

The #1 factor in this design is it's much easier to get the bends to match up. Making the over time factor less to build. The dual hoops ( old school ) takes twice the time to bend. As far as which is stronger, I'll bet there about the same. I like the looks of this,

Mine looks similar..but the hoops make for smoother lines,in my opinion.
