So east coaster here. I boondock, side hill, and run the trees 90% of the time. Climbs are short. NB has like 2 meters of snow on ground so our conditions are generally pretty good.
Thinking of spring checking either the T3 154 or SP 154 coming off a 2014 XMX. My big questions is whether or not the T3 is worth it or is it going to become a RPITA due to cooling issues and hyfax wear.
I've never overheated my XMX, and have run the scratchers down maybe 3 times in 2 years, so although I trail a fair bit to get to my riding areas, it is mostly on loose pack that offers pretty good cooling.
I thought I heard that the cooler has been extended in the T3's for 2016. Norona....any intelligence on this one? Would appreciate any info, cause the specs don't indicate any change.
With no experience on the 3" it's a hard call for me. Maybe 5% of the time I could use slightly more track but not willing to jump to 163 and give away the 154's playful character to get it....
OTM
