For Sale - Extra-Small TITUS RACER X

[SadieKate]

I'm 5' 3 1/2" and both my XS Racer X and Motolite fit beautifully. I've got long legs and arms, but a short torso.

The Racer X is on the short end of FS. It's a short wheel-base, short travel, quick handling, pure XC bike. This is NOT an all mountain, all terrain, freeride, whatever you want to call it bike and what most people today think of as generic FS. Don't worry about the HT or FS comparison if you can get this bike at this price with those components. Yes, HT can make you learn to pick lines better but depending on your mindset, you can learn faster on a FS because suspension will keep rolling when a HT may stutter. I learned slower on a HT because I was more afraid of falling than I am on a FS -- and I learned to mtb on a fully rigid bike so I can read lines. Because this bike has shorter travel, it is not going to be as forgiving as what most people think of as a FS (all mountain) bike so don't worry about the HT/FS argument with it.

BTW, this baby likes to climb. When you point her uphill, hang on.

Well I ride a hardtail and keep getting my butt kicked by someone who has been learning on FS. If you want to learn you will learn. Get what you want and tell they naysayer to buy you an extra HT if they think you need to learn on that.

Several have asked why I'm selling this bike. My 12 year old son has outgrown so I moved him up to a Small 80mm Racer-X. He rode and raced the XS Racer-X for 1 year, although he focused mainly on road racing last year. Kids grow too fast!! MUST SELL to pay for his new wheels - make me an offer!!
