2024 Blue Templar X crate

Happy guy looking at his new Templar X in the crate yesterday afternoon just before the hail and tornados came through! Phew

We had the R&L driver set the crate in the trailer for easy moving to the garage. No tears in the cardboard or wrap. Totally unscathed

Got the front wheel, handlebars and rear linkage and taillight assembly together.

Crate claims 272.3 lbs People are getting about 290 pounds for fairly unmodified Templar X, which is 18 pounds. Gasoline is 6 pounds per gallon, the weight of about 3 gallons brings it up to 290. Makes sense.

This Templar cost $150 more than my 2022 5 speed. There are a few details that makes this look like a better build, better packing, and a little more quality in the fit/finish. And the triple clamp/forks were assembled this time. The only thing I had to "fix" so far was to tap the left front bearing seal in. It wasn't quite seated. I'm glad my son decided to go ahead and get the X. It is definitely worth $2000
