August 3, 20188 yr Notice my mates Beta Evo has more ground clearance than my trs . Linkage bearings are good and sag is no more than 15mm . Doesn't stop me riding just bugs me now I'm aware of the difference . Anyone else noticed or has a suggestion on a fix ?
August 3, 20188 yr Modern riding techniques mean that ground clearance is not as important as it once was, you are just going to learn how to unweight the bike over obstacles or double blip etc. You may find your slightly lower ground clearance has advantages in the stability department. At one time tight turning radius was all important, then moving the back round became possible so steering round was no longer the only way to position your bike. I bet my Ariel turns tighter than your modern bike, there again I can't for the life of me move the back round ! ,it also has very good ground clearance as unweighting that hefferlump does not happen !

August 4, 20188 yr Lower ground clearance...lower centre of gravity? Spin it a way that doesnt bug you anymore Edited August 4, 20188 yr by faussy
August 7, 20188 yr The TRS balances better. Has better power. Is more stable. The gearing ratio is better. The skid plate is made to protect the linkage. Oh yah, the TRS can out turn a Beta. Whiner. Edited August 7, 20188 yr by lineaway
August 9, 20188 yr To be exact, my 2016 Beta has 6mm more clearance than my son`s 2018 TRRS 300. Now look how well the linkage is protected on the TRS.
