[Kelk]

Ran the low grip conversion at the Herts Mid South regional - this proved to be a useful back to back comparison as we visited there a few weeks back and the conditions were nearly identical, maybe a few degrees hotter today but track, astro, sand etc all nearly identical.

How did it compare? A lot better to be honest. There are a few inclined hairpins in a very sandy area and in the standard KF I found I lost the rear quite a few times compared to today where the low grip felt more planted. I am running with 70g brass under the shorty.

I didn't have the best of days but that was due to my ability to cope with very large and compound jumps as I don't get much practice on these obstacles. However through the twistier technical sections I could keep lines much easier than those running standard KFs.

I have to say I'm a big fan - in the right conditions.

As for power, didn't find it lacking at all on shortys.
