anyone got one? I want one but the price is steep... thinking it'll get a lot of use though. Maybe one of those things that if you pull it out, everyone wants a turn?
We have had probably 30 people try it from old to young. I can rip with my little guy, he loves it!
We met an older European fellow camping at Mara who wasn't done being gnarly and has 3 XR models with a cumulative 5000+ KM on them. All different mods, mostly uses them on downhill mountain bike trails... when he's not out on his E foil and E bike lol
I recently sold our dirt bikes and bought a XR and a Pint. I have just over 100km on the XR and 80 on the Pint. The dirt bikes had very little use in the last couple of years. The one wheels have been a great replacement.
you know it! we have tons of mountain bike single track and cross country ski trails through our neighborhood right by the river. deadly rides, every night
So you convinced me, Easy rider had stock on Wednesday, stopped there today and no Xr’s left. . Just the pints.
They have a new order in, hope they show up quick! Name on a list. Tried to give them money to get to the top of the list but they said no. Don’t worry they order 10 and the list is 3 at the moment.
Have you ridden both pint and XR? What’s your comparison? I foresee more more rural than urban riding for me.
Only ridden pint and but we cruise River valley mountain bike trails and tight single track, through lots of park fields without issue, the things unstoppable!
except tree roots... 2” root out of the ground will **** your world up!
that’s where the off-road tire and less psi to roll over rocks and sticks easier... in a few years when my tire wears out, I might try one. Mines got 1500km on it and minimal tire wear,
balance is a non issue, it’s like a Segway and is smarter than a human, it won’t shoot out from under you, ever. It doesn’t shoot into traffic, it just stops.
I’ve been chasing the kid every night this week on his Stacyc in the soccer field and parks by my place.
and I remembered I did try an XR with offroad wheel for a minute at that sweet little campground on Mara lake last summer...
it was noticeably bigger in the foot boards and the wheels a bit wider, felt more stable and planted, I think the contact patch of tire is bigger. I swapped rides with this gnarly Austrian who had waived me over to show me his and his wife’s XRs. He borrowed my pint for a minute as well. He rode Downhill mountain bike parks Mostly and was showing me his E bike etc... cool old dude, like 70 and shredding still.
