Good enough without being great, the XR tries to be all things (dirt) to all people - and doesn't do a bad job of it!

A tough toy for tough boys
Cons
Just don't expect the XR to be winning you many trophies
Full-on green laner with a strong motor and tough ally chassis. Ideal trail bike for the hardened off-roader but no out- and-out competition machineFull-on green laner with a strong motor and tough ally chassis. Ideal trail bike for the hardened off-roader but no out- and-out competition machine
