In this part of the world the Yamaha dealers have been selling their version of the X for years - involved fitting a yz/yzf with the WR gearbox, weighted flywheel and tweaked suspension- I tested a few before getting my gasgas and it had a tendancy to rev up quickly (like its mx heart was designed to) and loose traction on the loose stuff. It worked very well for more aggressive riders. The gasgas and other 3-strokes tend to deliver the power much more gracefully (sometimes a bit boringly)

So the question I want to ask is have they managed to take the mx out of the bike and make it more Enduro friendly?
