Hi,

I'm stuck deciding against the Templar M and X.

Does Anyone know the actual weight specs of both bikes? The official XPRO USA and PowerSportsMax both list the same spec sheet on the X and M (258 lbs net weight). That does not seem right that they would be the same weight since the M loses 1 gear and the engine counterbalancer. My guess is the M would be maybe 5-10 Lbs lighter than the X in reality.

Here in FL most of all the trails are whoops in sugar sand, so lighter bikes (usually the 2-stroke motocross) tend to do better at not sinking into that sand. I doubt a 5-10 lb difference in weight would make a difference, but maybe 20 lb+ would.

The weight is the deciding factor, as well as the M being a couple hundred cheaper, enough to buy all the riding gear and come out the same as buying the X alone. I think in the end I will choose the X. I don't plan on riding the road too often ( too many idiot drivers in FL) but having the option to is great. Being able to go from home to trail without taking the truck sounds neat as well.

Thanks,

Vek.
