I have owned the 2022 BE and now own the 2024 TrailSport and its ride was a little bit stiffer. BUT, after changing out the AT tires for the CC2 tires, the TrailSport is every bit as smooth and comfortable as my 2022 BE. I can detect no difference.
 
what about the infotainment, the be has 500w does it sound better? I assume it does.
also do u miss the cooled seats.
might pull trigger on new trailsport they giving me a good trade for my passport
not a big music lover but after making adjustments the bass seems improved at higher volumes. The entire head control unit is like being on steroids compared to my 2022 BE. Much faster and responsive.

The lack of vented seats are not a big deal to me. It was marginal on the 2022 and I used seldom. Seat and steering wheel heat is good.

Late to the thread but I recently traded my 21 Sport for a 24 Trailsport. I didn't find any Sports in the Vancouver area or I would have bought that. The handling on the Trailsport is definetly loose'r than the my 3 year old Sport. I suspect the tires (Road vs AT) but could be the "tuned" Trailsport suspension.
‘I believe that you will find it is the tires. The suspension is the same.
 
Honda lists the Trailsport as having different suspension "tuning."
‘It very well could be, but my 2024 TrailSport, after changing out the A/T tires, rides and handles exactly like my previous two RL units. If there is a difference, it is so very slight it will not make much, if any, difference in your off road adventures.
