I just bought a 2015 evo 300, previous ride was a 2009 evo 250. I have the slow throttle on the 300 and am so far very happy with it. Definitely has more power, but if you have decent clutch and throttle control it's not an issue. I like the extra torque for off camber hill work. Much easier to just use the throttle without worrying about a stall. Good luck with your decision! Stu

Pulled the trigger on a 2015 Evo 300 standard, my dealer had a minders bike from the Worlds that were recently held at Stepping Stone. Only has about 8 hrs on it with a small scratch on the swing arm. Got it at a great price. I rode it for a short bit and found the suspension amazing and the power is not overwhelming. Dealer is installing slow throttle with the thick grips and ARC levers. Thanks again for all the excellent advice!

It is a shame our sport doesn't get more support. I've seen more mention of Trials in Dirt Rider magazine the last couple of years. Probably due to all the extreme Enduro guys who started in Trials. Hopefully it will keep getting better as Enduro riders realize Trials is the place to start.

I have not had frame or swing arm problems, though I am aware of it being a possibility. I just keep an eye on it. I am also not an aggressive rider, no big obstacles. I am sure it can be more of a problem if the bike is used to its limits. Thanks for the advice, I did not know exact years on frame changes.

Thank you all for taking the time to provide some insight, especially on the 250-300 power differences and new model updates. I am going to ride a 2015 standard 300 this weekend so I can compare it to my current 250.

Could anyone enlighten me as to major changes good or bad since 2009 in the Evo 2T 250 and 300 models. I am considering a 2014 300 super smooth, 2015 300 standard and a 2014 250 standard. I am a developing rider and have been riding intermediate class this year and will move to Sportsman next year. Nothing wrong with my 2009 model and it has plenty of power, just wondering if improvements in suspension or the way power is output might help me. Besides just the hankering for a newer machine . Thanks for any thoughts on the subject. Stu Bishop
