nytro and xp 800, got to ride them both back to back

[johnnysrx]

Got to ride the Nytro and a XP 800R renegade this weekend back to back for about a hundred miles. The trails were in pretty rough condition so it was a pretty good suspension test. First impressions of the Nytro was WOW what a motor, that motor pulls hard! I thought the rear suspension needed some tweeking. Im about 230 lbs with all my gear and I was bottoming out pretty easy. Didn’t have time to mess with the rear suspension but it could of used some work. I compared riding the nytro to riding a wild stallion. Lots of fun, very fast, likes to buck up a lot, and unpredictable at times. First impressions of the XP were like the totally different of the nytro. Very predictable, very stable, awesome in the bumps. All most boring to ride because it was so predictable. Seat of the pants speed test I thought the nytro felt faster corner to corner. We never got the chance to line them up. I compare the XP to a sport sedan (BMWish) Awesome power, taunt suspension but yet smooth at the same time with good handling. Just giving you guys my thoughts and if you have any questions feel free to ask. If I would have to put down my hard earned cash on one I think I would buy the Nytro but it would be very close. I just like the four stroke thing and the motor is just that awesome.

Your a big guy so I think the RTX would suit you better and handle them bumps alot better as well

It would have been more comparable if you were riding a short track vs. the gade. I think you are going to get more stability out of the gade.

That is good to hear about the power.....

Was it a std or rtx?
