Hills 720 Report post Posted October 15 I have XC, absolutely love the feel of them but it takes a bit to get used to. You get a tonne of bite in the toes and heels so I had to do to a less sharp hollow or I was REALLY digging in. Otherwise you feel like you are gliding on a normal sharpening (or now less) and get a tonne of bite on turns which I found allowed me to cut more. Have 0 issues sharpening on my Sparx.
