Beta Xtrainer first ride

[@twowheelsdown2002]

Good job on some nice looking technical singletrack. I just retired into a toy hauler and I really am jonesing for one of these. I rode several models of KDX-200s in the eighties and nineties. I always liked small, lightweight bikes. Most of my riding in Tucson the last ten years has been on big heavy dual sports though. I really want to get on a really lightweight, but capable bike and go exploring. These trails look similar in rockiness to trails I mountain bike on. I don’t need to go race pace, but don’t want a total beginner bike either, as I am a very capable technical rider on a mountain bike. I just want something to get back into the hardcore off roading I like. I am athletic, and can run 10 back to back steep uphill 100 yard dashes. I think this bike might be perfect!

Nice, we tried this one on our Crf250f it’s time to try it again. I’m actually considering the xtrainer for my next bike. Whatya think of yours?

@@DerekEvilsizor It’s my wife’s but I ride it from time to time as a back up. I’m taller at 6’ but it’s still a hoot to ride, it feels like a tractor in a smaller bike frame. It lacks at speed in the suspension department but if that’s your thing it can be improved.
