Wondering how the b2601 handles on hillsides nothing real steep maybe 20 degrees. Does it feel top heavy with a balanced load. Trying to figure if there would be a big difference from my bx2660 .. thanks

You have spacers on your BX?

B is going to have a higher center of gravity - it simply rides higher and has more ground clearance. SO given everything being equal, yes - you will feel a top heaviness.

HOWEVER - if spaced a bit on the rear, IF loaded tires and IF ballasted on the rear with it lowered - you should not be too bad off the BX.

NOW this 20 degrees ....you going up it or sideways???? UP it you'll be fine, sideways.....not so much!
