I understand the difference between both but want to see who has personal experience and which they would choose and why. I don't like the idea of choking down the power and altering the gear ratios to accommodate this change. Is the 26 chassis that much better than the 25?
Thank you in advance.
Can't go wrong either way.
I rode a '25 again the other day to compare now that I've been on the '26 for a bit.
I do like the '26 chassis more - feels more settled into corners and more stable on a rough track.
I didn't like the choked down power. I put the '25 airbox on, Twin Air powerflow kit, FMF megabomb system and the Travis Preston map downloaded. That woke the bike up quite a bit. I also just recieved a '25 flywheel that I need to try out.
I really don't think you're missing out on much in the chassis if you get a '25.
As a former '23 owner and current '26 owner, whatever you can get cheaper.
Thank you for the reply. Really appreciate your explanation and recommendation.
Thank you for the reply. This is always a consideration if the difference does not warrant a price increase.

Next question. Who has the best OTD price on a 2025? I see listed as low as $7,999 but that is not OTD.
Thank you in advance.
I picked up a 2025 leftover a couple months ago for just under $9K OTD. That was in PA and the listed price was $7500, FWIW.
Thank you. That is very helpful!
