Notice how both chain hang low after only 2 cuts in dry sycamore.

Hmm, yes both had equal chain stretch.
That new chain looks more aggressive and about 2 seconds faster (second cut) than the standard chain in the second video [emoji106]

I counted
LPX 1st cut 17 seconds
2nd cut 15 seconds

EXL 1st cut 16 seconds
2nd cut 15 seconds

The general opinion between me and a couple of my subbies, is there is no difference between the EXL and the LPX. We have been ringing up ash all morning with both in a blind test and none of us could tell the difference.

Cheers for vids Rough [emoji106] Didn’t time anything but to be honest the LPX looked to cut smoother and faster than the EXL..... But the proof is in the times i guess.

Thanks for the comparison, so sadly not a game changer.
