No, only a Tippmann A-5 comes with a cyclone feed standard. However a Cyclone can be purchased that will fit the 98 Custom.

There are actually one in the same. There was never an orginial "model 98" only the custom series. The difference though would be found in the Tippmann 98 custom Platinum series with its easy to remove body.
They are internally exactly the same. It is weather you like the M16 look or not. Also If you get the tactical, you should buy a remote line so you can use the stock.
probably up to 600 fps
standard .68 caliber.
The Tippmann Alpha Black is a decent gun. Easy to use, durable. but really, your paying for the looks. A 98 custom is nearly identical, and it can't compete with an X7.
