A model that has been in development for over 3 years and one that has been designed not just by the engineers at Micro but also with the advice, knowledge and years of experience from our Extreme team who have been riding scooters to the limit since they were first launched over 10 years ago.
To get the XT model right, Micro started again from the very beginning and produced a scooter that was solely designed for extreme use. The new XT is extremely Hardcore and is intended for the very very best riders out there. Gone is the folding mechanism, as is the multi mount clip, adjustable handlebar height and super light weight.
These have been replaced with a fixed folding mechanism, once you’ve bolted and locked this into position and set your preferred height, that’s it; get on and ride this XT to the very extreme.
Also gone are the removable handlebars as are the foam grips replaced with a fixed system and new PU long lasting maxi grips - essential for constant sustainable grip. Gone is the double T footplate, replaced with the ultimate in strength, a larger new double square section platform which not only provides maximum strength and support but also offers riders a more uniform platform (with full length grip) for grinds that will last and last.
A new fork system replaces the standard fork - not only thicker and longer it also offers the rider a different rake than was available before. This new lower rider angle gives riders more control over the steering of the XT a more comfortable straight riding position - a better position for tricks!
The newly designed fork also now eliminates the need to reinforce the upper area as before and is fixed to the new thicker lower stem using two new extra heavy duty collar clamps. The headset has also been improved with new headset rings which are stronger and have a tighter tolerance than the old system which gives a much quicker reaction from the headset and allows the rider a great feel and response.
Finally as well as new 100mm 87a wheels with metal cores for extra strength, the XT features a new braking system which is longer, stronger and thicker than we use on any other model.
