I really like the Razr Cross fronts. They are the same pattern as the Goldspeeds, DWTs, etc. I think they last a lot longer the the Goldspeeds too, but that could be from the soft compound on the Goldspeeds. I will continue to buy the Razr Cross fronts for next season. I don't think you could go wrong. I like them over ITP quadcrosses. I think they hooked better than the ITPs in all conditions.

I have not tried the XM rears.

I've had good luck with my Razrcross fronts and Razr MX rears. Seems like a popular setup too. Is the XM a new version of the old MX?

They are like the old MX with a offset middle tread line (on the fronts) or basically, a grooved Razr MX. Rears are "grooved" MXs. I believe the tread compound is softer too.

I got a set of these in december for my yfzr. The rears are alot like the yellow label razr mx tires, 2 ply and are a VERY soft compound. These are not for general trail riding ect... They are factory grooved and also have an extra lug in each row. I have had them out a couple of times and they seem to hookup really good and slide well also The fronts are NOT the soft compound like the rears, they are more like the standard or medium compound like the orange/yellow label razr mx tires. The fronts track good and seem responsive in turns. Both front and rear have deep lugs, I think they are a bit overpriced and hope to see them a little cheaper this year. I'm running 20" front 18" rear. mine are more like 19/17 in actual size. I'm pretty happy with them so far.
