Trying to understand the differences between a 2010 SX model I can buy 2nd hand versus a 2011 model. Buying in the UK if that makes a difference to the specification. Can anyone tell me what I would miss out on by taking the 2010 model ?
Also do all UK SX models from at least 2010 onwards have the longer reach handlebars for a bigger rider ?
there are several big technical and optical differencies between 2010 and 2011 Strida SX:
The changes (reinforcements) were made to pass the EN testing.
Additionally I should mention here that I’m a terrible perfectionist (regarding technical details, not foreign languages) - this might relativize the “big” optical difference.
(The steering tube looks like patchwork )
they did throw alot more reinforcement in the steering tube, which is funny because no ones ever reported the steering tubes welding ever failing. You can’t really stand up and mash on the handle bars with a strida anyways but it looks like it alone can support 200lbs!
