I didn't realize this either when I was at my LBS. Then when I brought it out to the truck my XL almost goes from front to back of the box of my truck, and no longer can fit it in the back of my Durango like I used to with my MTB.
I have put 250 miles total on mine and I've made some adjustments to seat position along the way and that helped the seat from hurting. It's still stiff, but it's better. Don't have much issue with grips as of yet. One of these days I'd like to try a 30 mile+ ride.
