Talk to the guys that sell and race them. Thats whats so cool about the GG, you can get it your way. For less slick conditions, especially for a better rider, a straight XC might be prefered. For tighter, technical snotty woods, the smoother delivery of the EC motor is better. I really like the 250s power for enduros, its just about right, and not abusive. The 300 is a curiosity for me. If I do a conversion it will be changeable back to a 250. I have to ride a 300 a little more before I decide. If I didn't race, I'd get the 300.
