Try to 300 XCW first. The XC model is tuned for racing so it is a way different ride than an XCW. The XCW (even the 300) is much smoother and will not put you in a wheelie when you give it gas. You may also want to consider a 500 EXC-F (four stroke) as it is also extremely smooth. I agree with other that the 150 is not your bike. Don't focus too much on the CC, the biggest issue is how they are tuned. A motocross 125 would be more dangerous for you than a 500 EXC or 300 XCW model ranges.

@@BigIronMoto quick update, Ive gotten way more comfortable on that 2020 300xc and have grown to love it after riding it everyday for a month, now my question is how much snappier is the ‘24 250xcw compared to the 300xcw. I’ve heard some things about the 300 “feeling slower” in the top end, where as the 250 requires you to be on the pipe a little more. I’m starting to lean towards the 250 if I’m being honest. It has reasonable bottom end, and pretty strong top end which is what I like.

@@joshmullins9634 The XC is far more peppy and race oriented. The XCW is mellow, low power, excellent for trail riding and harder terrain. It depends a lot on your riding style. If you want to race, then go XC, if you want to trail ride, then go XCW. Either way, I would go 300 as the new TBI 300 has very smooth. linear power so it is there if you need it, but does not feel twitchy (like the XC). Hope that helps.

Hope you enjoy it! It's always a great event.

I wouldn't describe it that way. It is smoother at most people's riding pace with may translate into feeling "nimble". The 250 is a great bike. If you aren't competing or doing really wild stuff on the trails, the 250 is a perfect bike.

Perfectly fine. Same as any other pack. Highly adjustable.

ok

Thank you. I may do a longer video soon to explain it all but I am telling the story on my instagram page @bigironmoto so follow there if you are interested in seeing how I am coming along.

Im glad your recovery is coming along. I dont have social media but i got my wife to look up your IG and i see your getting better. I love your dog, i have a brindle frenchy that you met at ORPS. Get well soon man, i'll keep my notifications on for when you post dude!

Happy to answer anything I remember about it. I did ride the 450 and found it really nice. Torque felt great and 4T power made it extremely smooth through the trails. My first choice would be a 300XCW but that is only because I like doing hard enduro and having the lightness of the 2T is my preference. HOWEVER, if I was buying a bike as a guide or general trail riding, I would probably get the 450. I really liked the 450.

Rented. From Canada, all in with flights and rental etc. probably about $13K back in 2022

This is a four stroke but either way, oil changes as frequent as you can afford is important.

You can! Doesn’t seem like a lot of rules during Romanaics.

Much appreciated!

From what I have seen, nearly everyone does.

Speak to George Rappos from Desjardine

Could be a lot worse. Many jurisdictions don't allow riding at all or way more regulated. A lot of Europe is awful with virtually no places to ride. Plates, cheap insurance, and inexpensive trail pass seems like a pretty good deal to me.

I doubt Alpine Stars would recommend that.

Princess Auto. They often go on sale.

Excellent as always. I always use SKDA and they are the best. They will even transfer over to new plastics if you break some (just use a heat gun to reapply).

I doubt it. See if Alpine Stars recommends it. Likely will get shredded in a road slide IMO.

Just peel and stick. I have to do a new one every once and a while but it’s inexpensive so no big deal

I don't remember that. What happened in July?

@@BigIronMoto ...I blew my starter fuse and I had to walk back to get my MX bike near trail 199

Oh I see, you are referring to HM trails! Yeah, that was a crazy day. Hope you are better now and ribs are healed up. Yeah, if you ever wan to ride GD, let me know and we can try to meet up@@819jt

Yeah, we will shred, then!

A++ on the send at the end!

So lucky that the stars and sand aligned for us on this one. Awesome day

Thanks!

Glad it was helpful!

@@BigIronMoto thank you

I don’t remove them. Not worth it. Just keep the tire studded. New tire is cheap.

Manuals are all online and it will show stock and recommended springs for weight. Stock ranges between 165-185 I believe.

I guess you can wear them whenever you like but pretty sure they are for outside so it doesn’t snag pants. Most wear Moto socks underneath so socks would be redundant. Braces generally come with socks that are for over, not under braces.

I am. Ride SCORRA a lot. Reach out to me when trails open. Instagram is best. 🏁

Thanks! Have fun!

No. Stock gearing.

No. As far as I know, only bikes that come made from factory made for highway use are road legal. Speak to MTO.

Ganny is it’s one separate forest from the OFTR trail system. You don’t need an OFTR pass to ride Ganny (just insurance, plates, and Ganny pass). OFTR is province-wide trail network that you need an OFTR pass (and insurance and plates) to ride legally. You must pick at least one club when signing up for OFTR. They send you stickers.

@@BigIronMoto you rock brother. Thankyou! Ill look into it and ask more questions if i need help. You earned a sub 👊

@@BigIronMoto also, where can I purchase a pass for ganny? Is it online or in person?

@@_christienn._ online. Their website. Ganaraska Forest Authority. Search for motorized vehicle pass. All trails are closed until May 1 now.

No, I have A-Kit suspension on it already. The 24 upgrade is really nice though. I rode a few 24s and it’s amazing.

There are differences beyond plastics but yes, it is the same parent company. With some models, the differences and prices are significant. It’s not simply a matter of colour.

It’s a 350 XC-F (North American model).

@@BigIronMoto okey, thank you
