Just was sitting comparing the Pro to the new XM. I love the etec motor but I think it's a good thing Doo tried to make enough changes to the XM to at least be kind of as fun to ride as the 11 to now Pro, or their sales would a tanked. I never was a Draggin fan but it was a hell of a lot more fun to ride off trail than the XP. It always makes me laugh when the XP guys start in about how they loved the XP and hate the Pro , then since the XM came out Doo has made all changes to cause the XM to handle like a Pro, which is actually still the only true mountain chassis, not a converted cross over. Like, narrower ski stance every year to make it easier to lean and carve , rider position moving back steadily, tilt a whirl suspension to make it easier to lean and carve, bendy edge track, to make it easier to lean and carve , sorta like a 15 wide lol, trying,(not there yet) to narrow up the fat cheeked side panels to make it easier to lean and carve. And almost all these changes have actually been in response to the introduction of the Mountain specific Pro. Doo has lead the way the last couple years with the motor, but they are certainly playing catch up and scrambling to keep up in the chassis dept.
Cat, well I guess we'll see if they got their drive train issues figured out yet this year, great motor tho.
Man if the Pro had a more dependable drive system and an Etec motor, they couldn't build enough of them, the ultimate mountain machine, stock, with warranty, that would be sweet.
Are you Fawked? The pro is a stretched rush!!! Which has been out since what? 2009?
The xm is the only machine than has mountain specific features. Track, skid, side panels, foot rests..the list goes on
