In many two wheeled sports there are charts advising what fork and shock settings to use based on rider weight. Are there any rules of thumb or charts for trials? (GG250 2017 specifically) What do other people do? Is it best just to ride as built?

I would've liked the GP (though the ride differences would be very marginal) except there's non available, they were a limited run.

Thanks for the advice guys. Ive bought a gas gas. I rode them back to back and back to back again. The TRS felt more stable but less nimble than the gas gas. I'd probably do better in a trial on the TRS but I think I will enjoy practicing more on the gas gas. The extra value of the three way shock on the TRS would've been wasted on me as I wouldn't have adjusted it anyway. The gear shift is definitely smoother and slicker on the gas gas and the front end felt lighter, though less planted. My personal opinion of course.

I'm in the same position as yourself, hence the post. its nice to know that they ride very similar because I do like the feel of a GG. Like you I've never had reliability issues with a GG and they're so good to work on. the reason I'm considering the TRS is because you can get the RR for the same money, which is better value IMO.

Looking to get a new bike (a 250) and would appreciate any help / advice as to whether I should get the Gas Gas E4 or the TRS RR. I've always liked the ride of the GG, is the TRS much different (better or worse) Any advice or pros and cons for either bike are much appreciated.
