Yes it is...I put a mountain seat (MTX ) on my 15 LTX and I think it's a huge improvement over the stock seat.

Yes I was looking at them at my dealer yesterday. Did you change your bar riser yzf1999? I feel like the LTX is maybe an inch or two low for me when standing and I'm only like 5'9"

No I didn't change the riser. I'm 5'11 and the stock riser is a perfect blended height for both seating and standing.

Yes it is a
Agreed , The Mountain seat is the perfect height. Best seat I have ever had on a sled to date. Our 2015 XTXs both came with them.

Not sure if you do any boon docking or standing when riding but if you do I highly recommend the vertical steering setup like whats on a MTX instead of a riser. HUGE difference, Its my favorite feature on my XTX LE. I helped SnoNinja covert his LTX to vertical steering this summer.

Yeah I remember reading about that over the summer. I find myself standing a lot more now since getting this sled. I'll have to go back and check out that thread again
That Vertical steering is on my list too. One hit to the vitals from the bars is all it takes to convince one!

The seat on the MTX is way too high. I'm planning on a wrp or skinz seat next year.

I looked at that and the first thing I thought is where is the give if you go over the bars. With that in mind I prefer the stock XTX and was glad I did at Grand Mesa last Thanksgiving when I did a superman over the bars

A forward eject has the potential to hurt no matter what bar setup you got. Stop doing those supermans!
I know you have rocks out there that wont move.

Oh yeah, went about a full sled length in the air before I came down. Bent the frame too, but glad I didn't have the MTX tripod steering....didn't want to find out firsthand if you will get caught on it. My handlebar riser did move forward on impact so I was glad about that
