I'm a big fan of the WR, but as Mollydog said, not for RTW. Having said that there probably isn't any bike that is incapable of doing a RTW, but that statement also needs to be read in the same vein as there isn't a bike that is incapable of doing 50 odd laps of a Grand Prix circuit. When it comes to suitability of the bike, the simpler, more agricultural with higher tolerance levels, the better. Clue that in with steel frames etc etc and you are left with a bike that on paper at least is a bit of a dog. On that note, the XT is your best friend.
