@@BrandonBorrows in 2023 it was $2200 cheaper than a TX300. Now that the XC/TX/EX have spring forks I will probably get a 250 XC or 250 EX or TX300 next time. I do like the mx 5 speed better than the 6 speed in my 18 XC-W though. Might have to get a 25 250 XC as they are the only bike that has a new close ratio 6 speed.

@@Montana_Motorized Ah, makes sense. Been wanting to get one of the new TBI bikes this year but have been somewhat torn between TE and TX 300.

@@BrandonBorrows if hard enduro is what you ride mostly, I think the mellower TE might be advantageous but the extra 7 hp and cleaner stock mapping adds more fun factor. I would never buy a TE but I like a nice mix of technical single track and some flow. I prefer to not lift and push my bike all day. A little here and there is fun though.

@@Montana_Motorized that’s a good way to put it - I currently ride a ‘13 300RR. I’d probably feel right at home on the TX. I like a good mix of trails across the state line over here in ID but still in my exploratory phase out here.
