    Thursday through Sunday. Definitely needs more time as I barely scratched the surface. I was staying at a campground in interlochen

    Considering doing the white rim trail and parts of continental divide on Rosie next month. Seeking private messages from people who have ridden these on their GSA with advice. Specifically. Tires, first timer strategies on riding ledges, sandy descents and behavior around jeeps on two track ledges. Perhaps August camping necessities and lessons learned. Please PM. THANK YOU. I’ve only off roaded in New England. So never ridden this terrain.

    As even a blind man can CLEARLY see in this chart, 2014-15 Olive Matte Green has the most horsepower, followed by 2019 Kalamata Green, 2016 Ocean Blue Metallic Matte and following DEAD LAST..... 2018 Racing Red. Those “second wind” spikes in HP near the end of the run are just a last gasp of bikes desperately wishing they had come from the factory in a different color. As you can also see both green bikes stopped trying long ago as it was never really in doubt who ruled the roost.

    The chart also shows that White bikes were all over the place. So they were excluded from the testing.

    Finally to see that someone makes the claim and substantiates it with the dyno graphs - well done... :clap

    You mean white ones were way above and beyond the graphs so they were removed not to spoil the "average" ones - got it... :D
