    Amazing ride and handling.
    Yes you loose some top speed but I am concerned about the ride. If I wanted to race I would have gotten a bullet

    That’s not a Bravo replica, it is simply another four blade. And yes the Bravo may not loose speed on some applications. Though a Fury Four Blade will loose speed and give a similar result.

    I want to run a Bravo but unsure on pitch. I would think a 25 FS or 25.5 XS

    Bravo Propellers are not in half pitches unless they are custom through Racing. Those are tuned and not necessarily as durable as Factory.

    Compared to a fury a bravo will run roughly 1 pitch weaker. Actually they run weaker than most of the dozens of props I've tested over the years pitch for pitch.
    26 fury=27 bravo

    The Bravo 1 XS does come in half pitches the FS doesn’t.

    The odd numbers & .5 numbers are just added cup to the even number (this is for the bravo xs). For example a 25 is really a 24 with more cupping. Bravo will run a lot shallower prop 2 pad than a fury 4 though.
