Why does this model have a locked differential

The X550 has a locking differential on the front wheels only, which gives you extra traction when needed, especially in tough or slippery conditions. When engaged, it forces both front wheels to spin together, helping you pull through mud, snow, or uneven ground. The rear differential stays open to make turning smoother and reduce tire wear on harder surfaces. It's a solid balance between off-road capability and everyday drivability. For the Axis XS750, the diff-lock is on both the front and rear wheels.
