Funny you should ask that,I use my XTX for one thing and that's riding to Crossgates caf� in Wales midweek there are as many ways as days in the year and one of these trips encountered another lunatic on an XTR and what ensued was a highly irresponsible ride,so the answer to your question I wouldn't want to live on the difference between the two,although we were in a very tight country lane.
