I bought the XBlade because of the headlight design! It makes the bike look more expensive than it is, and it’s futuristic.

I'm not a fan. If something goes wrong, it is a pain to find replacement parts. Function over form, please!

I think it’s a cool design, but I’m worried about its durability. It could be easily damaged in a minor accident.
What is the XBlade’s performance on long rides?

Surprisingly well! I've done a few 300 km trips on my XBlade, and it was completely comfortable. It really helps with the upright seating position on long rides.

For short trips, it's ok, but for serious touring I don't recommend it. On long rides, frequent stops are annoying because of the small fuel tank.

For weekend getaways, I find it great. It’s a smooth engine at higher speeds, and the seat is comfy enough for a few hours at a stretch.

And it’s not built for touring, plain and simple. Want a long-distance bike? Look elsewhere. The XBlade is perfect for city commutes.

It can take long rides pretty well with a few modifications, like a better seat and a windscreen. It's decent stock, but not great for touring.

I've done a 500km round trip on my XBlade, and it was all good. Not comfortable, but it is doable. The trick is to break it up.

Long rides, though, it’s actually pretty good for its segment. On longer journeys it reduces fatigue with good bump soakage.
What long-distance adventure trip modifications would you make to the XRE 300 Sahara?

I’d start with a bigger fuel tank, first things first. The stock range isn’t bad, but if you’re looking for real adventure riding, you want to go further between fill-ups. Then a bit of good crash bars and a skid plate to protect.

Long trips require comfort. First off, a better seat, maybe a custom one, and then some highway pegs for those long stretches. Also, a taller windscreen would also help to reduce fatigue.

Luggage is crucial. For a good set of aluminum panniers and a top box, I'd go with. Maybe some tank bags too. It is necessary for you to be able to carry enough gear in order to go for extended trips.

I'd focus on the suspension. The stock setup is ok, but to make a serious difference for adventure riding and carrying a lot of gear, you can upgrade the springs and possibly also the shock.

Don’t forget about protection from the elements. Maybe some fog lights for better conditions in poor conditions, and hand guards are a must.

Honestly, I’d leave it mostly stock. What’s so nice about the XRE 300 Sahara is the simplicity. Perhaps there’s just soft luggage and it’s settled. Keep it light and nimble.

Everything is protected by the engine guard and radiator. Also, it’s worth upgrading the tires to something that will be suited to the terrain you’ll be using most often.

I definitely will add a USB charger and maybe a phone mount. These days, it’s important to keep devices charged, especially for navigation. A 12V socket wouldn't go amiss.

Perhaps it'll be worth trading the stock exhaust for something with a little more growl. It won’t make much power, but it will make those long rides a bit more enjoyable.

If you don’t already have a good toolkit and some spare parts, don’t overlook them. You might add a small air compressor as well. Long-distance adventures require you to be able to handle repairs on the road.
