I am not an expert (hence my starting this thread ;) ) but I think it is adjustable damping on the TX that the GT does not have - see my "bold" edits in the text from the above website =

Think I have the gt. they're height adjustable but that's it. More than enough for what I need.

If youre only in Essex you're more than welcome to come for a spin in mine when it's back on the road, see if you like the ride
