[QUOTE="DAB, post: 730852, member: 21707"] It's more than power, it's also suspension and a CR or YZ is way too stiff for trail riding. Also these bikes have "long legs", i.e. long wheelbase and more raked out front end compared to a trials bike. A CR or YZ must be ridden hard and fast and very aggressively, or the suspension does not work. The Honda xr250 is the japanese trail bike which has geometry most like that of a trials bike. But it still feels clunky after you've been on a Montesa. The GasGas Pampera is the trail bike most like a trials bike, in my opinion. Soft suspension and a smooooooth engine with a great clutch. You can actually ride it much like a trials bike, hop logs and unweight the suspension, slowly slip the clutch while doing an offcamber uphill turn, etc. It is a secret weapon. The Beta Alp is also great for such purposes, but it uses a Suzuki 4-stroke engine. I haven't ridden it as much as the Pampera, but it would be more like a trials bike that you could ride up to a gas station and pump fuel into it and go a long, long ways. dan brown [/QUOTE]
