For those fortunate this past winter to have their X1, is the ground clearance on the X1 sufficient to get you through the deep stuff?
Mmmm, good question. Sorry don't have an answer yet but will let you know towards the end of the year when we start getting a bit of the white stuff. One of the reasons I went for the X1 is so that I can take it north into the mountains this winter so have been looking at getting some winter tyres and chains for it as well. The X1 was only launched in Europe last winter so there were not many around. Maybe one of our Nordic members will have more experience.
