heffergm Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 So I'm curious about getting a 300RR, but I confess I'm a bit put off by the weight difference between it and something like the TRS. If the Cota claimed dry weight is accurate, you're looking at about a 15lb weight difference. From anyone that has a a modern 2 stroke and a 300RR, or has switched one way or the other, do you feel like the extra weight is noticeable? Offset by other benefits? Or a non issue?

cornishtwinspring Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Depends on what type of rider/course you do. If your a hopper & bouncer type the weight is quite noticeable after a days competing. But if you ride old school style,then the difference is barely noticeable imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neils on wheels Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 In addition to the static weight, you also have to take into account that four strokes feel heavier to ride than two strokes. This is because the heavier rotating mass in a 4T engine creates a higher moment of inertia than the lighter rotating components in a 2T engine. The consequence of this is the bike requires more force to deflect it from its current path [this can work for against you in different situations] but makes the bike feel heavier to move or turn.
