1) XC has abbreviated wiring harness and no lights 2) XC has FMF expansion chamber; EC has Gas Gas "stock" expansion chamber 3) Suspension settings; Not sure about this, I had read that the settings may differ, but heard from riders that have ridden both, that they do not differ much, if at all 4) Ignition; again not sure about this, as I have read differing accounts on whether they share the same ignition, or not 5) XC has Renthal 997 handlebars GP 1) Same wiring loom as EC with lights 2) DLC coating on inner fork tubes 3) X-trig triple clamps 4) Rekluse clutch cover 5) Complete FMF exhaust 6) New cylinder head/combustion chamber 7) Floating front rotor 8) Quick release front axle 9) Gripper seat cover 10) Renthal 997 handlebar |

I just bumped my springs up one size from .42's to .44 and from5.2 to a 5.4. Got me a gpr stablizer and some EE hand guards. That's about all I'm doing to it for now. I'll post a pic or two when I get it back together. Thanks to Motocenter in Mesa, they had all the parts in stock!

Here is the Aussie reviewer (Beta fan) and his review of the 2018 XC and EC.
The video confirms tbat the XC Gasser has somewhat firmer suspension (others say it needs to be firmer for racing) and the EC is the cush-mobile that I would want. https://youtu.be/-xtdwsLY3z8 Last edited by AZRickD; 05-19-2018 at 10:17 AM. |

I love Barry Morris' work. His channel is a wealth of good training and skills vids.
Despite the fact he rides a Beta. |

I haven’t ridden an EC but I own an XC300. I tip the scales at 260 and I have won a race or two at National level in the +30B class. I run .50 up front and a 6.6 on the back. The valving is near spot on for my race pace but at slower speeds I get some deflection in the rock gardens even with compression backed all the way out to 2 clicks from full soft. The suspension is very soft “feeling” if you just set on the bike and push on the bars but when actually riding it feels great and is near impossible to bottom. I figure this winter I will send it off and have the compression stack softened up on the forks and add some rebound to the shock to help compensate for the heavy spring I have to run. On another note, the guys at GGNA and every dealer I have talked to swear that the EC has the exact same suspension setup. Either way, this is by far the best suspension I have ever had the pleasure of riding on. I would imagine a properly sprung yz250x would feel very similar. I have only ridden one with stock springs so I really can’t give honest input. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
