The 18XL is a stable workhorse, like others have mentioned. I’ve put 500 miles on mine since I bought it in March, probably 75/25 pavement/off road. It’s agile, relatively lightweight, good ergonomics(I really like the slim profile design), with enough torque and speed for normies like me who aren’t trying set the EUC land speed record. I chose the 18XL based on reliability and build quality within its weight class and so far haven’t been disappointed.
