Compression tube on the R1/HW80 is 30mm
So then, not to confuse things, would the 85 be closer to the 95 then the 80 ? I have a 95..

According to the Krale web site:The HW 80 SL: Barrel:500Length: 1150Weight:4000Joule/FP: 23 / 17Cost: $445The HW85 Lexus:Barrel: 500Length: 1165Weight: 3500Joule/FP: 30 / 22.1Cost: $380The HW 85 has a LOT more POWER, weighs less and costs $65 less ! Seems like a a LOT of gun for the money...
Other than less cost and a pound lighter the HW 85 specs are very close to the HW 80. What does the 80 have over the 85 ?
You will find a picture of my late model HW 85 in this post. When I went thru it, it looked identical to the 95 platform all but the long barrel, which I wanted for iron sights. And it has been fabulous.I have owned an R1, HW 35e, two HW 80’s, and four of the new FWB sports, those are all gone and I wish I bought the 85 first. It would have saved a lot of money. I performed a tear down, deburr, Vortek moly seal and a ARH hornet spring only on factory guide with no top hat for gigs. It shoots with a fabulous thud and great accuracy.https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=163635.20

Don't know because I own neither... -Y
