Tall Rider in search of next bike Lifan? Orion? Xpro?

[onthefly]

As the title says, I'm looking to get a bike. I'm a pretty big guy 6'6 250. That being said, previously (2018) I had a csc tt250 which I enjoyed, but I'd prefer a taller seat height. Since then, I know there have been a lot of new bikes released. I've been digging through the forum comparing the options, but I'd love some feedback. I've kind of narrowed it down to the Lifan KPX250, Orion RXB250L HO, or the new Xpro Paladin 300.

I'd love to hear any feedback on the bikes. The Orion and Xpro have the tallest seat height on paper. Or if there is another bike I should consider by all means let me know! I'm not opposed to the more inexpensive options if it makes sense.

Main use would be gravel roads and light trail riding.

I have almost pulled the trigger on the Paladin, but I would love to get some feedback from someone who has ridden one. I'm sure that feedback will be rolling in soon as members get their bikes assembled, but anyways, I'm all ears! TIA!

I can tell you that the Templar X and by association, Paladin 300 will be as tall as most other brands of Enduro bike... in comparison, the standard Templar 250 and Titan DLX have the same height and are smaller. If money (within reason) is no issue, i would stay tuned to the Paladin threads as that is the newest and best offering that Xpro has at the moment, otherwise you can't go wrong with the Templar X, although, top speed/power to get there will be lacking compared to the Paladin..
