400EX vs. 450r for amature XC racing
I'm 15 and coming up on the end of my first racing season. Lately I've felt I'm actually capable of using most of the bikes speed (there are still things I can do to be faster of course), so I'm wandering if I should keep the 400 and get faster on it or go ahead and get a 450 now? I've seen ALOT of people say a 400 isn't at much of a disadvantage in XC if set up correctly. I recently picked up my first sponsor VANILLA GORILLA RACING and am really excited to see where I can go with racing. Thanks for any advice guys.
