Default Cam recommendation

Helo, Bike is 2024 triglide ultra I have decided on either the TTS 100 or the Tman M8 200 cam wanting imput on these cams for my glide not wanting high end HP just bottom and mid range torque, using Cobra 909 slip ons with TTS tuner and stage 1 air filter. Thanks

They both look pretty similar and good low end torque. Do you have someone else doing the work for you? What do they recommend and do you have a tuner picked out? You could look at the cam charts on Fuelmoto. They’ve tested a bunch already.

I am going to install the cams along with Fueling lifters and Adjustable pushrods.Right now I am planning on using a TTS Mastertune for tuning.

I don't know about the Tman M8 200 cam, but the TTS100 was tested by Steve Cole and me back in 2018 when we tested several cams in my RGS with a 107 ci M8. The TTS100 was the best torque cam we tested as far as how early the torque was made. It was making 98.76 ft/lb at 2000 rpm, this was better than the other cams we tested at that rpm. On the TTS Mastertune website there are some additional charts showing the cam in a 114 ci. and a 117 ci. I think you would like this cam in your trike.

Hello follow up question about the TTS100 cam does it have a lopey idle sound which I really don’t want and is it quiet far as valve train noise?

No, it is not lopey. It doesn't have much overlap, which is as I understand it, what causes the lope. It wasn't in my bike long, but I don't think it caused additional valve train noise.
