It’s got a little more “bang” than my RR for sure but, it doesn’t jump off the ground at 5500 like my SX. I’m gonna pull this new team primary apart this week to see what it’s about.

Jesus. Fun for about 20 minutes then, it’s just an exhausting wrestling match trying to control it while feathering the throttle out of corners. Still, it was a hoot.

Yes, they are making it again but, not sure it’s available to the public again. Only available to race teams and some dealers? I’d like to know the reason why but I’d I had to guess, it’s the same reason why some complained about the RR type models, “It rides like shit”. Morons wanting the look but, really need a more compliant model. I hope I like it. I’m optimistic but it doesn’t have the feel of my last two. Weird low clutch engagement scared me at first. Electronics shortages. I applied to try to get my hands on one but no word yet. money is getting hot in my pocket so I maybe needing to go up the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It won't be as snappy as your sx is , its fuel/ignition map is much more mild mannered and the clutching will be more roll on roll off than youre used to..

I just revolve the rear SX shocks to XC specs and add dampeners. 30-60 up and down all day long over chop and trash. I get it. I'm a bit OCD about steering as most of the trails I enjoy are like well groomed slalom skiing between trees but haven't felt the need to get a keel that aggressive. Have contemplated adding the wings to the RZ'S on loose or fresh snow days on occasion. Run Woody's executives for ice and hard pack which seem to work really well on the SP's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
