Awesome review of the 21 XCW. Straight forward, to the point and talks about real world riding issues, wants and needs. Thanks Chris Horner

[@michaelhansen7516]

All in with the lower power nimble bikes for the trail, great post

[@slayer6936]

What a buiteful day!!! I love the 150 but a little out of my price range. But it will be my next bike in 2 years. My yz125x is my learning again bike. I have to get a lighter bike due to new shoulders and hip..lol and I am 61! Great video Chris! Glad to see ya running a good old 2 smoker the only way to ride! Mine goes into the shop tomorrow to get the SC2 on along with a 52 on the back and a 9oz fww..and asv levers. I would do it myself but the shop is not built yet that is a couple months off. I like all your up grades big time..the only thing i have left is a apex head.

Man that looks like fun! I've been riding road bikes since 1974 and now I'm not sure my 70 year old skeleton would be up to the dirt bike challenge.

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

It’s fun. 👍

[@darrenadams6861]

Thanks for more motorcycle essentials! Awesome!

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

👊

[@Mrflynlow]

Hey Chris great post. Are you riding in Ca.? I can't identify your area. I am a KTM rider also, you just can't beat them all things considered, for recreational riders.

[@blackburnwll]

Twist the throttle! Haha! Can you add that expression to the road cycling videos? I'm certain it will apply at some point :)

[@sambrown1779]

It's different hearing you describe a motorbike. Used to your cycling content. Good work

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Such a different experience from the bicycles. 👍

[@timliscum2861]

have you tried a 4 stroke yet? I used to have a XR600 back in the 90s..that was my first 4 stroke after growing up on 2 strokes...

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Yes. I love 4 strokes on fast flowing stuff.

[@GNX157]

9:00 Wow, way out as far as you were and surprise, three or four steel bollards sunk in the ground, Were they even brightly painted yellow? That could be a bad day if you were coming into that section a bit faster.

[@franciscopontesvelasco4315]

My admiration, I wouldnt have the courage to drive the motorbike on that terrain

[@michaelsteven1090]

I have a 300 xcw but I’m 170 lbs..I’ve been told that I would miss the climbing power if I bought the 250..but I’m sure the bike is very manageable over the 300..and yes, the xplor fork is much better than the xc bike in my opinion..wheres your P3 carbon muffle guard? A must! 😂

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

Right. The 250 xcw is super manageable. I would think at 170 you would have no issues. I just picked up a 300xcw so that I can compare the two bike evenly now. I have a TX300 at the moment but it’s not even close to the 250xcw in terms of nimbleness/agile. 🤔👍

[@michaelyoung5071]

I will be looking forward to your 300xcw comparison video.

[@meenafarag9927]

You probably get this a ton but which do you prefer, xc or xc w?

[@JohnCoconis]

Is the first gear similar to the tw 200s?

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

I don’t know the first gear on a TW but the XCw is very low. 👍

[@weijingburr2392]

I bet it sure beats pedaling.

[@ChrisHornerCycling]

I love the bicycle more but it’s second on my favorite list. 😜👍
