Highly recommend the TSP power kit. Makes a big difference on these bikes. Cleaned up the bottom end on mine and the power would be closer to your XC but smoother.
There is a tune I'm going after that aligns with your set up, (XC and XCW world together). In the green map it's got the same power as the XC, but in the white map it stays exact as stock XCW with it being a little more clean. It's from Jammie Twisted Throttle. You do need to change the head as well. Your bike looks great, excellent way to set it up! Did the short silencer change the sound any? Also, I removed my rear tail light assembly like you did but found I lost the ability to pick and move the bike up in tight spots...I put it back on and it really helps to pick up the rear of the bike. It's very minimal cost of you break that assembly. Anyway, really like your vids and I'm interested to see more now that you have the XCW. Major congrats!!
Any less flame outs with the XCW and the slightly larger stock flywheel compared to your XC? Also, any better feeling sliding over logs without the linkage now ?
Less flame out than a stock XC for sure. I did put a 9oz flywheel weight on my XC and it made it as good as this. I had a skid plate that covered the linkage on the XC so it was fine. The only time that was a problem is if I slid back on the skid plate hooked onto a route in a technical section.
That’s why I do. They don’t fit. Hoping they come out with a revised version. But the old one flex more then the new, I like that as they are less likely to crack.
Do you notice a difference between linkage vs PDS on singletrack? I’m ready to replace my ‘20 300xc and am torn between the xc and xcw. I ride mostly tight singletrack.
It definitely has less power. The mellow map on the XC feels like the aggressive map on the XCW and the mellow map on the XCW is even mellower. if I rode more wide-open fifth or six gear riding I would’ve stuck with the XC, but I mostly ride tight technical terrain And having that useable power down low is great for me.
Did you trade in the 2023 bike at the dealership? Curious on how much you lost, there are some smoking deals out here in Alberta, 2024 300XC for $10,788 plus tax and PDI. I got 165hrs on my 2023, but with new a Top end, and TSP Tuned.

Lovely bike mate! Thanks for the insight! 👍🏻👍🏻
Well done good video mate👌

I’ll pay attention to the sound, haven’t noticed

I like the handguards. Do the 2023 flag style guards fit on those wrap arounds?
Looks like you have older style flags on
That’s why I do. They don’t fit. Hoping they come out with a revised version. But the old one flex more then the new, I like that as they are less likely to crack.
@@TechEnduro thanks!
Totally agree my new style flags have not faired well
No billet hubs? Spokes are gonna come loose for sure!
Right?! 🤣

Not really, the shock feels about the same
How’s the power compared to the XC? Are you missing the HP?
It definitely has less power.

@@TechEnduro does the bottom end power feel much different than the XC?
It feels more linear than the XC less of a hit
@@TechEnduro does it feel heavier than your XC? Does that TSP delete kit provide everything to plug up the system when you remove it? Thx
@@grutzmac Feels the same weight wise. Yes the kit comes with a couple little plugs for the oil hose.

No my I sold it to a friend. It was $10,300 CDN plus tax and pdi. For the xcw.
My buddy just bought a 24 XC for $10,100 plus all the tax and pdi.
@@TechEnduro No freight charge? Those prices are great, except for BC sales tax.
@@alexkevan3887with tax fright pdi and all the other BS out the door is $13,100
What fuel ratio are you running now?
60:1
That shorty silencer cause any running issues?
No, haven’t noticed any difference
Did you just use a 2024 sx front plate?
Yes. Just gotta adapt with that plastic part I cut out
@@TechEnduro legend thankyou
What about motor differences?
XCW has less peak HP it’s more usable down low though.
I think it’s a terrible idea so much better off with a regular XC more horsepower
To each each and their own, I had an XC before this, and prefer a bike that somewhere in the middle👍
More HP doesn't do good for a lot of tight riding, it actually hurts you...

Username checks out👍🤣
@@TechEnduro Yeah, as long as it's not "on the ground" I'll be okay...😅
