As I age, I wanted something upright, but still able to perform. A flick of the wrist lightens the front tire. It needs a more comfortable seat if you travel longer than two hours. Show less

I sold my 450 and bought the 300 XC. This bike just seems great. My age is 41 now, so I wanted to be able to ride hare scrambles and an occasional MX race, also. It's like a light 450 that really rips when you want it to. The power is very stable and predictable. I have had the 200 XC and 250 XC, and this bike seems way more mellow, but can turn on the power when you want it. The electric start is great, too. I have raced it at the local MX track and it hangs right with them out of the gate, and anywhere else that you want it to. The suspension seems fine after you have the sag set. I am very glad that I bought this bike. Show less

So far, I have ridden this bike on (lots of single track, desert, Glen Helen, City and Rock Gardens). It handled them all extremely well. The throttle is very smooth for EFI with the JD 6x, otherwise it is lean as heck and a bit too snappy in first 1/4 throttle or so. Once you get the bike re-sprung for your weight, throw a JD tuner on it. You need nothing else than protective gear for the bike and the bling of your choice. One more thing, the clutch is so smooth and easy to pull, it is amazing!!! Show less
