He advised me the same and I now have both and he was right the S1 just feels right the X1 isn't quite the same. The S1 is the more iconic one as well.


Really, I find the opposite…S1 looks nice but is a dog to ride compared with an X1, which is a much better bike.....

I've ridden all tubers and apart from a slight difference in power delivery, I don't think there's fuck all in it as far as handling goes :!: :)
