Personally, I weigh about 315 and am about 6'8" and the seg does just fine. They are made to handle it but I think the limit was set for liability purposes. I am not too sure what GeorgeM said though, I have ridden the XT many many times and have taken it through off-road courses without a problem. Even with the 4 PSI in the tires the XT still has plenty of clearance. The only problem that we have seen is once you get over 400 pounds (My wife and I on one machine) it starts slowing down a little.
