Did a nice little rip today to test out the WER. I found it very noticeable. Did a comparison through the same stretch of singletrack. Had 3 log crossings and 4 little rock gardens with fist size loose and larger embedded rocks.
I started with it cranked all of the way. Reminded me of my Scott's. Very noticeably stable but slows down the quick turning of the 200.
Then backed it off to 1 turn out. This is what WER recommends for their enduro riders. It lets the bike turn quicker. It's barely noticeable.
Finally ran it at 1 1/2 turns out. Seems to be a happy medium. Still has that quick turning, but you can feel it working.
I also jumped on my sons EC200 with no stabilizer and it is very noticeable without one! Deflection and bars yanked hard once in the rocks.
Very pleaded to have a stabilizer again!
Thanks again Todd!
