I stopped into my LBS and looked at the:
FX 3
FX Sport 4
Dual Sport 4
I also currently have H5 42" tires on my '15 and would probably buy a similar tire out the gate and upgrade whichever of the 3 I wind up buying (really prefer the wider tire since 15% gravel riding makes me feel more stable). Anyway, would the FX 3 suffice or is it worth it to spend the extra money on the FX 4 or Dual Sport 4 maybe? Thanks!
I found myself in a similar situation - I'm on a 17 FX2, which I love, but really wanted disc brakes. Rode the FX3 and FXS4, and prefer the feel of the 3 - so I have one on order (I'm tired of black bikes, and black is all they had in stock. Viper red incoming
). And yup, my FX2 is going to my son.
