Yes, the sceenery is spectacular! I rode the XCW a bit, it's a great bike, but it is a lot more mellow. The tuning is for the technical single track, which it excells at. However, it leaves you wanting more power for the fun factor! The owner came off a Gas Gas EC that was tuned hot and was very fun to ride! It left him wamting more hit. We also had a 2023 KTM XC in the mix. It is much more lively and has the dual map. The softer map of the XC was more like the stock map of the XCW. Hope that answers your question.
