Micro Extreme XT Scooter

The wait is over...........

The micro extreme XT model scooter is here and is Micro’s response to the ever increasing use of their scooters, especially the Bullet, in skate parks and on the streets for extreme aggressive use.

For the last 4 years the Bullet has been the model of choice for the extreme rider, and whilst an exceptionally good scooter this is not what the Bullet was originally designed for. Over the years many riders have adapted, amended and upgraded their Bullets to keep them functioning to their best but as the riders get better and more extreme the Bullet was taking more and more damage. Many users accepted this and would happily replace their Bullet’s 2 or 3 times a year, but now we have the solution;

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 had to start again from the very beginning and produce a scooter that was solely designed for extreme use, not a scooter that was designed to commute and then modifying it. The new XT is extremely Hardcore and is intended for the very very best riders out there. Gone is the folding mechanism which has been the trademark of the brand for so long, 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 with a new fixed handlebar system, gone are the removable handlebars as are the foam grips which have been replaced with a new PU long lasting maxi grip which is essential for constant sustainable grip. Gone is the double T footplate which has been 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 for grinds that will last and last. The new footplate is fitted with a full length grip for a more secure footing.

A new fork system replaces the standard fork which has been so successful on the Bullet and other models. The new fork is not only thicker and longer it also offers the rider a different rake, rider angle, than was available before. This new lower rake gives riders more control over the steering of the XT and allows a more comfortable straight riding position which in turn allows the rider 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 when performing tricks. 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.
