I may be interested...i'm not too far from Chi suburbs and I have been inbetween falcon and t4 pro for a first wheel...wife still thinks im being wreckless with spending and injury 😅 she's come around though.

I was thinking if I wanted to mess around in winter with light snow

I'm guessing initially the falcon speed would be what i'm comfortable with for a while, but yeah with the range it's tough, it would probably be good for taking to trails and going around where I live, but if I felt the want to go farther ever it would be a bummer and I would need to upgrade. I dk if the t4 max will have any better waterproofing than the pro, or just something that would still need some tape/silicone for better protection. So far falcon is more blatantly advertised for water protection.

I'm stuck between these two as a starter wheel and need some help. The t4 pro is a good deal, but I feel I would need to get some bumpers and pads, putting it closer to the price of the falcon anyway. Falcon, smaller wheel and already seems to have decent protection, but would also need some pads. Seems to also have better water protection, so that's a plus. Any opinions appreciated as I've heard some say the Falcon is overpriced and others say that it has the edge over a t4 for a beginner wheel.M ost of the time people say go for the t4 because of the deal, but after upgrades, I feel it'll be a similar cost. I myself see two possible scenarios, I could "outgrow" the falcon, or desire something larger and then in a year or so spend a few thousand dollars. Or possibly the t4 would work better for me in the long run and I wouldn't feel the need, since I can upgrade the suspension and throw a knobby tire on and hit trails, as this is where I see the progression taking me for more fun than the bike path. I guess I just need a second opinion, is it too close to call? Ty anyone
