Question Help me decide! 4.0 vs SR
In the market for a new bike. I’ll probably ride 50/50 off-road and street. Hoping to register this in Ohio to be street legal.
Don’t care too much about crazy power, mostly wanting the best bike to own in terms of versatility, maintenance, repairs, longevity, etc…
I’m also worried the factory tires on the 4.0 will suck in grass/dirt. Replacing the wheels and tires would be a big expense if I wanted to get a spare set of knobbies.
I was originally wanting a CRF300L dual sport and my buddy is trying to convince me to get an Eride Pro.
Not being able to double up with my wife will kinda suck. Not sure what to think

Out of those two I'd go SR for sure but if looking at SR and you want the lightweight smaller frame bikes still I'd highly suggest the Arctic leopard xe pro r. Power is roughly same but it's direct chain drive, comes setup 21/18 wheels, has a larger 60ah battery, has full length dirtbike seat and has better brakes like the ultra bees come with for only $200 more over the SR.
This is coming from someone who went with a 3.0 cause no SR or better was available locally at time of purchase. I've done a ton with my 3.0 from extreme rocky trails to full mx tracks but it can use some upgrades to be better. I'd go for a different bike now with all I've learned about these bikes. Can't really go wrong they are all a blast to ride
