Exactly. There is a difference between seeing how well a machine can perform its intended purpose versus seeing what the failure point is. Despite some opinions there is really no reason for the latter in this situation. Nothing like driver failure resulting in machine failure and looking like a total idiot.Actually no, someone else has already tore the front end out of one. Nothing says Leeroy Jenkins better than coming up short on a double jump in borrowed equipment. LMAO.
I watched a video on FB last night and they just started going through some small whoops and chatter and and the in cab video was pretty violent. Video just stopped barely in the run. I was thinking last night from the video they might have endo'ed or broke it to cut the video so soon. I went back trying to find the video and it was gone.
Awesome find @JACKAL pretty good reviewMuch better video, 105 miles in 6 hours riding. Ending comment, he didn't miss his X3 with 178hp.

Ya that review added a little smile. Been waiting for those guys to get one. Still not excited about a first year but am definitely leaning towards the Talon. Have been for a bit. Waiting to see dependability.I watched that vid and was thinking the whole time, "damn, @CumminsPusher is going to own this thing before he knows it"
I think his X3 is pushing around 260HP... and your right, he said he didnt miss it on these trails. They were very impressed with the engine and transmission as well as the chassisMuch better video, 105 miles in 6 hours riding. Ending comment, he didn't miss his X3 with 178hp.
Even the ad videos looked pretty rough.I watched a video on FB last night and they just started going through some small whoops and chatter and and the in cab video was pretty violent.

Agreed. My main concern is the ride. I think the power is there and drive train is fine.Even the ad videos looked pretty rough.

Based on video commentary it appears the setup was designed to maintain driver control when driving aggressively. That being said backing off the spring preload a bit while dampening and rebound set on 1 (soft) should offer a more compliant ride at non aggressive driving speeds.Agreed. My main concern is the ride. I think the power is there and drive train is fine.
Pretty sure Fox and some of the other shock guys will have a package to re-spring and/or re-valve the shocks. Usually the shocks are spec'ed by the manufacture to build to and are for worse case scenarios and load capacity. There's multiple kits for all the other brands that make a pretty big difference.
I'm sure! The stock shocks are probably great for most riders, if the stock shocks are quality entry level shocks, they may be able to be sent off for mods?So far ALL the videos I have watched are very encouraging. I don't understand why some people are making negative comments based on nothing anyone is saying. The SXSblog guys are straight shooters. You can tell, they are impressed. All of them ride performance machines and for them to walk away saying the power and torque is there, that says a lot. If Honda combines this performance with reliability, they will put a big dent in the sport SXS market. I have an X on order, and I can tell you I am more encouraged based on feedback coming from Utah.
