Can anyone here that has or has riden the X2 comment on the ride when only 1-up? Is it stiff or uncomfortable, does it bounce over bumps instead of sucking them up. Any comments good or bad!

 

It is stiffer than my friends 2002, and 2001 Sportsmans. Not as stiff as my sons 2005 ATP 500. I weigh 340 and find the ride to be very good with or without a passenger. It can seem a little stiff at times in tight whoops, but is fantastic in technical stuff like tight rocky trails.

 

Have you guys played with the rear spring tension at all?

 

I haven't played with the tension at all. It seems to be right on where it is. It's great in corners, over tree roots, long bumps (yes it will sail if going fast enough), and roads. Even better when the going gets slow, like in rocks, mudholes, etc. I think it comes on the softest setting and I think that is just right. If it were me and someone else who weighs as much as me, I would probably dial it up a couple of notches. The only time I don't like it is in tight whoops. But, it does soak them up very well if you stand and let the machine absorb the bumps.
