Initial thoughts on how the power feels compared to the tx you have? I know they’re down on overall hp but I care more about the low/mid end than the up top screamers

Both bikes are very close down low to mid power. The TX/XC have more power in the upper power range. Have almost 10 hours on TE now.

I’m looking at the 2024 and trying to decide between the XC and the ECW. A lot of the writing I do is desert but definitely technical Rocky stuff. I like not having the linkage for technical writing. Other than that I think they’re pretty close, but just curious why you chose the XC versus the XCW?
@whiskeythrottledave11 ай бұрын
Hi there, I actually prefer the linkage suspension. Bike squats down better going down steep hills and seat height is slightly lower. I also like that the xc is premix. Don't have to worry about a oil pump failing on the trail. The XC is slightly lighter and has 9 more hp which is quite a difference.
@mattgohio11 ай бұрын
I wanted the XC-W but prefer the linkage over pds and prefer premix over the oil pump. prefer the lighter weight of the xc too. considering the transmission is no different between xc and xcw I guess I'll grab an XC instead... or maybe a TE 300.. if only the yz 250x had counterbalanced shaft / hydro clutch / electric start... @@whiskeythrottledave

The changes I made to my 2015 YZ250F for trails were a throttle tamer, FMF Q4 pipe, trail tires, and gearing the bike up from stock (to 14/48). The pipe and tamer made the biggest difference in smoothing out the initial throttle. Stock I found the throttle to be very jerky and hard to use on the trail. Takes some work but the YZ250F can be a pretty good trail bike. The close ratio transmission is limiting and stiff suspension needs to be reworked as well, so it may be worth to just get the FX if you can find one used at a good price. Personally I found the FX bikes to be way overpriced on the used market so went with the F.
