The differences are subtle, even with the tree filled. I know it is working though, because I timed my fastest trips to the Village on my bike both before I got the tree and after. Before I trained the tree, my fastest time to the Village was around 7 minutes, 20 secs.After I got the tree, I have shaved about 30 seconds to a minute off of that time. Probably somewhere around a 10%+ difference.


And by the way, it does NOT make your bike go faster, it just makes it accelerate quicker and turn better. This is of particular pleasure on that trip to the village with all the mountains and forests. However,I doubt you will see near as much difference on the flatter planets like Tattoine (most parts) or Corellia.

I've noticed that if you keep turning to one direction, like riding in a circle, you'll eventually go almost parallel to the ground. It looks pretty cool. I have the whole tree filled up, and it's definitely helped a bit on the rides to Aurilia (that is, before the stupid rubberbanding negated this benefit).


The best way I can describe it's benefits is - imagine combining your Swoop and an X34 Landspeeder - now remove the uphill speed of the landspeeder but keep the increase in acceleration down a hill. Your speed recovers a lot faster when you cruise over hills and mountains.
