I've never ridden a Tuber...but like I've said before...I like the White X1 Lightning. If I was gonna own a tuber it'd be that one.

They handle REALLY well, but don't handle as well as the XB line. The geometry wasn't as radical and so it isn't as precise. They also don't have all of the mass centralization benefits of the XB.

That said, I've seen folks school newer, more modern bikes on tubers.
