Having had the XT for a year now, I would highly recommend them (unless you are wanting to race or do that jumpy around MX thing). As a laning bike they are ideal. Everyone who has tried mine - and sometimes it seems like I'm riding other folks' bikers as much as my own while they have a go - has been impressed by both the performance and the handling.
Thanks Col for your info , much appreciated, only trail riding for me and being I only have little legs sounds like the low seat height would be a bonus .
I've had mine since April 2016, done 4200 miles all trail riding in the UK, Spain and Portugal and I'm getting 12 -15 miles/litre depending on the terrain and the use of the throttle. Frankly I'm amazed each time I go to fill up mid-ride !!
The bike is stock except for handguards, sumpguard, kouba lowering link (I've got short legs ) and a NECJ needle in the carb which improves the carburation and fuel consumption. Before changing the needle I think I was getting about 60 miles to reserve, it was a long time ago........
Basically I love the bike for many reasons....
