The new version of the XT300 is even better as we have updated it using the latest internal design of the XT260, resulting in even superior performance to the older version. Specs

The Exo tester team have a solid slalom background.
I think that this reflects in many peculiarities of the XT300 like precision and speed.
First time I tried it was on some Corsica classic runs (Travo, Orbo) and the boat behaved surprisingly well.
I had the same good feelings on my home runs (Sermenza, Alpin Sprint).
Definitively a good boat that suits well from the beginner to the advanced paddler.

About Me
I'm a frequent paddler of the Sesia area and more in general north western Italy,
this is the area where XT300 was born and designed for.
I am 177cm and 85Kg (sigh).
Pros / The Good
-The boat is very fast and precise
•Rigid pillars give extra safety
•keeps the line very well
•semi planning hull (can be a pro or a con depending on your taste)
•Easy to roll
Cons / The Bad
- Outfitting is very basic and poor, particularly the seat is almost flat and your bottom will tend to move a lot.
You have to modify the outfitting by adding some foam, in particular on the back of the seat.
• Tail is somehow catchy, you have to keep balanced on the boat, particularly when resurfacing from drops or trying to exit a hole.
