Underpowered?

Bob · July 20, 2013, 02:47:15 PM

Why do sb200s struggle to get up even smallish hills etc? They have to be revved to the max and SCREAM and still struggle!

No, not wonderful, but not as bad as you make out, IMO there is nothing wrong with them being on the X38.

Can we just all agree to disagree?

Dude I just asked whether people thought sb200s are underpowered ( I think they are, very much so).........

To be honest, I agree. I think that SB200s are underpowered, as well as awful. The 52-plate Telford ones are probably the best you'll find - but the 59-plates are God damn awful. Rattly, not very fast, badly made, vibrate alot... The 52-plates are holding out longer already... I think Arriva should just invest in more Citaros and get some Optare Tempos - they would be something I'd like to ride on :) Even B7RLEs would be nice :)

Sb200s scream and struggle at even a slight incline and die on hills. None of the other big groups have bothered with them

I've never been on one - but I've seen videos and can tell that they're really nice... There's a few that operate the Wolverhampton Campus route.
