I think the worst thing about a cage is it would make the COG higher. But on the good side at least you might survive your roll off a cliff.

Nah its not necessary, i was just wondering.

What do the cages do in terms of MPG? I think it would take up some, more wind resistance and weight...
Does it take a bit away? I would like to do an exo, but i don't know if it is needed.
