It has been a while since I have ridden the KTM 300 TPi in fact it was last November 2021. With a trip to Wern DDU quarry coming it had to be the weapon of choice for what was about to come. A great day was had riding with Carl Venter and Darren Heyes pushing the boundaries with a mixture of success and some torturous moments. Not having ridden this bike for a while I was a little out of tune with it. One of the biggest problems was no grip on the seat which on the steep technical climbs is a problem as you hang on a lot more and it proves tiring causing forearm fatigue. Also its difficult to stay in a central position in those critical moments. This issue I have not noticed on the GPX bike which has a decent grippy seat cover. For certain I will be getting a #1 Gripper seat from Eurotek next week.
Back soon with some more GPX content and a long trail ride coming up.
A big thanks to Carl and Darren for being my riding buddies for the day.
