Launched in the UK in November, the Micro Extreme XT model 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 their extreme team who have been riding scooters to the limit since they were first launched over 10 years ago.

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.

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.

The brake on the XT has been specially developed to make it stronger than all other brakes. The spring itself is longer and stronger than those fitted on any other model. The wheels themselves are casted onto metal cores for greater strength and to eliminate the common problem of shattered hubs. In an attempt to keep the ride as smooth as possible these wheels have been developed using 20% more polyester urethane. The XT model comes as standard with 100 mm wheels, however, it will also accept 110 or 120 mm wheels depending on rider preference.

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.
