Hey folks, new to ORS, but searched quite hard for help before posting.

I push my OB quite hard on holidays. I find when trying to climb steeper dunes with the CVT in 'manual' mode, in 1st gear, all goes well until I run out if grunt. Then, though in 1st, it's like the transmission tries to drop to a lower gear. In doing so, the time delay loses momentum, and though what seems to be a lower gear is found, it's too late, I've lost momentum, and traction, so have to back down the dune.

Anyone else experienced this?

Wishing I had real low range like the old days :-(
