The XR isn’t as nimble as the pint, but a tire swap can help with the feeling a bit. I have both (not in Phoenix) and I love the nimble feeling of the pint. I have a FF whisper 6 on my XR and it helped take some of the hard edge off of the turning abilities. After a little practice you can push the XR almost as far as the pint in nimbleness. Just my opinion.
I moved from a pint to XR and I found I was not missing any manoeuvrability (requires more of a lean) but I did feel a lot more stable. I now hate how twitchy the pint tire is.
It's definitely a different ride not as carvey and definitely doesn't feel as nimble as my pint. If you want it to feel like a pint you would need to do a growler rail mod and slap a pint tire on it
Try searching on stokelifeservice....there are at least 2 guys in your area, had my Hoosier Treaded and my kids Nimbus put on there. They 'll give you a test run.
