Where the two special editions differ, apart from their differing Sandstorm and Snowdonia White paint schemes, is that the Desert Edition also features spoked rims that are tubless ready. While the white Alpine Edition sports 10-spoke alloys in identical 19/17″ sizings as the Desert Edition. Essentially the Desert Edition is modelled off the mid-specification XCx and the Alpine Edition based on the alloy rimmed XRx model.
