Fixed Strut vs TSS?
- Thread starter yooper01
- Start date
I have not rode however spoke with several who have , the fixed climbs better, Tss better in bumpy trail
I have had both ... Tss feels more like a dirt bike but I think it does not do as well in the Climbs .. ... At the end of the day I think tss is worth the price ... I wanted the dirt bike feel .. I added this to my 2015 kit .. So I have yet to upgrade the track ..

I don't have a direct comparison on the same kit, but I have owned a 2016 ST120 with TSS and a 2015 ST120 without TSS. The 2016 with TSS is better everywhere, including climbing, although part of that could be the 2016 kit itself. Massive difference on the trail and harder packed snow.
I tried the TSS with the pressure dialed way up as well to simulate a fixed strut, and I didn't like the way it handled at all.
I definitely noticed the "dirt-bike" feel of the TSS handling which I really liked.

Worth every penny. You can ride the bike so much harder in sub par snow conditions and as mentioned above, the dirtbike feel is restored to the bike. Weight transfer is way better and the bike just soaks up obstacles and beats you up SO much less.
Between the curved track and the TSS, snow bikes feel infinitely more like a dirt bike and less of the akward contraption that older square track fixed strut kits feel like.

TSS + 2016 track is an excellent combination. My only wish is that you could somehow lock out the TSS for deep snow early season riding because it can be detrimental to climbing and some aspects of deep snow performance. Other than that, positives everywhere. And damn is it nice in the spring... no more LT beating your back up through rough terrain.
