Wow, you’re so lucky having these trail systems. Here in Australia the “green” influence is strong and single trail is banned with heavy fines enforced. Our Forestry departments could do well to learn from your departments practices. Meanwhile I’ll ride single illegally but can only dream of riding the sort of stuff you guys have got.

It's not always completely smooth but overall it works. I am thankful for these trails because I know in other areas of the world it's not like this. If I couldn't ride single track I'd drop the sport.

@garthlundquist83165 жыл бұрын
The TPI system meters the fuel more accurately at lower engine speeds. This really helps finding traction in hard enduro situations. The power delivery is very linear. Some guys miss the “ hit” but that doesn’t help in steep sketchy terrain. The tank is smaller because the bike is more fuel efficient. And the suspension gets better every year. The only time my TPI bike runs less than perfect for changing conditions is when the air filter needs servicing. I have 95 hours- zero problems so far.

Both would be fun to ride, depends on your needs. For the riding I do electric start and full size gas tank are a must and the YZ250x does not have those.
@geoffboyd4 жыл бұрын
@@PNWEnduro Thanks for the response. I always read on forums and the consensus I have read is that the YZ250x has a better suspension and is lighter weight. 250 xcw TPI has fuel injection, headlight, better power, electric start. Coming from a dual sport I was very attracted to the weight of the YZ but I'm left wondering if the extra weight of the KTM is even detectable. I just care about fun factor primarily.
