Default The infamous cup holder

Just about to buy my first Crossfire.

I keep coming across reviewers complaining about the cup holder. What is wrong with it?

Tall drinks tend to fall over when making a turn.

Drinks in it can also get in the way of shifting.

I’ve used mine, it kinda works, but I only have two cups that work and they’re both metal and not that large.

This is working out great for me. Cut closed cell styrofoam and spray glued the back side to secure to the inside of drink hole rim.
