Player Notes
This is consistently one of the highest-praised pieces in the whole XSR range — players repeatedly call out its bright, pingy character and note it can be crashed without falling apart tonally, a trait usually reserved for pricier rides. The one common wish among reviewers is for a slightly bigger bell, but the mid-size bell here still delivers solid, driving groove definition.
