Overweight
After last weekend's troublesome trial I thought a lighter machine would be in order. But how heavy is an X1 Kanguro? The brochure says 135kg dry weight...
Having calibrated the bathroom scales using a pile of weight training weights (OK, not accurate) they seemed no more than 2kg out in the 30kg to 60kg range. The front wheel weight of my partially fuelled, but otherwise ready to go, X1 is 70kg and the rear wheel just under 80kg. Looks like 150kg is more realistic. This is the dry weught quoted for the X2 model so that must be really heavy.
