So how is the 300 in the Desert?
I rode a little desert for first time in New Mexico this summer on my 450 while on vacation. I really liked it. Completely different animal than eastern tight woods singletrack though. Thought it was challenging. Riding with your shadow in front of you was new to me. LOL. I plan on going back for a race in Feb by Alamogardo, Tarantula 100.
How does the 300 like the desert? We don't have room down here to get past 4th gear, so I have no idea how the 300 runs in 5th and 6th.
What gearing do ya'll prefer?
Preferred tire? My Mich S-12's seemed to work very well as it was sandy.
Have any of you had a 450? Would you prefer the 300 over the 450 in a typical desert race?
Who races a Gasser in the desert?
Thanks.
