Hard Enduro Freeriding - A Semi-Hard Enduro Shorty

Always fun to find old trails/free ride! Wish we had more places around here for it.

choose your own adventure my favorite kind of riding.

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

My favorite as well. Unfortunately there are few places to legally free-ride and it’s decreasing.

How would you compare the TE300 vs TX300i TPI, regarding throttle response (bottom end, midrange), gearing (does the wide ratio stop you from riding a gear high as one would normally do with the TX/XC ratio) and suspension (especially for slow to med speed chunk)?

[@WASemiHardEnduro]

I had the 21 TX300i (TPI) and now the 24 TE300 (TBI). They are more similar than they are different. The new unified gear ratios are actually quite good, and I don’t miss the old TX/XC gearing. The old XCW gearing I didn’t like though - too gappy. Bottom end and midrange are pretty similar, really. The TBI has better stall resistance, but runs pretty rich stock. Suspension is definitely better on the new bikes. But I had my 21’s suspension set pretty soft and despite being an AER from it actually felt pretty good. New CC fork is quite a bit better though.
