Looking to make the jump from a 230 to a 250X. I just got into riding about 3 years ago and have owned a 230 for 2 years now. I ride mainly woods trails in south eastern VA. Dirt, sand, and mud. I would like to step up to a 250X due to 1. the stiff/poor suspension of the 230 2. terrible rear drum brake and 3. for a little more power. The 250X has everything I am looking for in a trail bike and I wanted some opinions on how the transition is from 230 to 250X, mainly about the difference in power. Is it only slightly noticeable, or is it so much that I will have to relearn how to ride a bigger bike? Thanks for any info.
