Any reason not to T3? I love the orange X. I like to jump alot and always looking for a kicker. Will the T3 be slower? Spring conditions. Anyone else on the fence?

3 inch track and the setup on the t3 should be a solid gain in the powder. It won't jump as well, it's not gonna turn the trackspeeds of the 2.5, it will be slower and I doubt it will be much advantage in the spring.

That being said I am ordering the t3. I think it's the next step forward for progressive technical riding.

What is "progressive technical riding?" Sounds like a politically correct way of saying I don't want to work for it...:face-icon-small-win

If you like to jump a lot, going longer isn't better

Lol. Well it's steeper, thicker, and further into the backcountry. And yes a longer, deeper lug track is gonna make it easier to ride the area I currently ride. But I'm looking to progress to area that I haven't been able to ride before. The xm 163 made it easier for me to ride where I used to ride with an xp163. So, I accessed gnarlier zones. I'm expecting similar results from the t3.
