     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Major difference between TE and TXC?

I just bought my TXC with the advice from the dealer it was suitable for enduro racing which Im hoping it is. But out of curiosity are there any major differences between the TE and TXC that make the TE more suitable for Baja desert racing than the TXC? (apart from fuel injection)
 
TXC is basically the top end of a TC and the bottom of the TE (ie 6 gears). As well as some suspension differences (ie 50 over 45 front).

There may be some other differences but I think that is the major stuff
 
The TXC is a better race bike for many reasons. Lighter, faster, turns better, simpler (wires, EFI, instruments, etc.) The TE is a great do it all street legal bike. The TXC is a stripped race bike which makes a nice trail bike as well.
 
Ah cool, was a little bit concened but this is good. I thought the TE may have had a different gear ratio setup.
The dealer said I can road register the TXC as well but normally if a bike doesnt come with a side stand thats the first indicator that its not ment for the road. Will pass by the registry in the coming weeks and try my luck :)
 
I'm not sure about the 010 model TE or TXC or do I know what year model you have but the 08 (and probably 09) TE had a longer rank than the TXC. The TXC has the same rake as the TC...This longer rank should have the effect of a more stable bike when haulin' ass in straight lines across the desert. And I'm certainly not saying the TE is a better than the TXC in the desert. I'm just pointing out this one difference in the bikes.

Gears were the same on the 08 models and not sure about the 010s. The stronger motor and 6-speed tranny are what got me on the TXC :banana:

I had a new 1976 CR250...100% racer of the time and it had a kick stand...Not sure when they dropped them off bikes but some companies finally figured out that a kick stand is not such a novel thing after all. The TEs also have a steering lock...I'd like one of those on my TXC also.

Click to expand...

Now that both bikes have been out for a while, is the consensus that the TE does NOT have the same engine as the TXC? Early on there was some speculation that the TXC would be more TE like for 2010 with regard to engine performance than in years past.

Have a look at the parts list PDF file to see differences.

I think you will find only the forks and lights...
