I wonder...
It might add some strength to the structure but I think this is only incidental and not it's primary aim (I think the LSF is already rock solid and would not be the part I would focus on if something in particular needed to be reinforced on an x2). Someone must know... it's been there since its release back in 2006... Personally I think it is a bit ugly and doesn't make sense to me for INC to be manufacturing two different parts, unless, there is a reason for it.

Agreed, it's not pretty... Makes it look a bit more "rugged" though...
But take a look at that bend on the i2 LSF... Notice the reinforcements, that aren't present on the x2... They're welded/soldered onto the LSF of the i2.

When Doug Field was asked if the extra bar on the x2 LSF is for extra strength, his only answer was "It sure looks cool..."

Heh... If it weren't because of the "i2" text on the i2's LSF, i would probably got one of those... And if i paint it over, i lose the Segway laser-etching! D':
