Having a few miles on bellerophon a couple of observations. First the ride is definitely improved over temeraire who in turn is way nicer than spare jimny. Secondly I have yet to notice the extra 20 ponies, whether it is an artefact of the throttle by wire or just the way in which temeraire delivers her available power or exactly what I'm not sure but bellerophon is not setting the tarmac on fire like I might have imagined. It's going to be interesting to see how a trailer affects things.

Is the Gen4 heavier than the Gen3?

Yes, but not enough to matter - 15kg or thereabouts

When I moved from a 2011 Gen 3 to a 2020 Gen 4 an improvement in power in both the low and mid/high rev ranges.  Almost any hill will go up in 1 gear higher.

Perhaps it’s the difference between an automatic and a manual and it just requires a bit of adjustment time?
