CRFGuy said:Are you sure that you want an XC and not the XCW. I also ride tight rocky stuff and have about 50 hours on my 2012 300XCW and can tell you that it is one very sweet machine for the tight woods straight out of the box though the susspension really is way too stiff. You will need to spend a couple of bucks to soften it up and oh yeah the stock tires are garbage and you should change over before even going for the first ride.
