    Re: optimax vs pro xs (sterling11)

    The 250 Optimax is "essentially" based on the 225 ProXS platform, with some very minor "proprietary" modifications.

    Primary differences between the 250 Optimax and 250 ProXS are:

    -Cylinder Porting
    -PCM Calibration
    -Adapter Plate/Mounts (depending on models compared)
    -Decals
