43f vs 36a.

Post by AlexanderR »

Hi everyone!

As a newbee without a 34l for now ,I am also on the outlook for other models, comparing XT:s and TT:s and so. I am trying to learn new things about these nice bikes.

But now I have got stuck becouse when I compare the two bikes, 43f and 36a, I have difficoulties to find any direct differents in the specs, other than 36a are 20kg lighter.

The engines have the same horsepower but, the 43f seems to be the faster one the 1/2 mile. Strange I think, since I thought the TT was supposed to be the more rugher cross/enduro bike, and also becouse its 20kg lighter.

The TT would be in 5th gear at redline rpm after about 200m. :riding:
The XT has road gearing and a higher top speed. The TT is geared for hills.

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!
