According to Hustler, the Raptor SD weight 666 lbs and the X-One weighs 1282 lbs. I have no idea how they pack twice the weight into the X-One! It does have the same front wheel size as the SD. Hustler supersized everything recently. My FIL has an older Fastrak which looks very close to my RSD. The new Fastrack is a much bigger machine.

They are a lot heavier built.
Example, Look at the frame. (especially noticable around the engine, wheel motors/pumps)
Much heavier built than the Raptor
The X-One frame is more similar to the Super Z.
The decks are heavier. Heavier duty transmissions, Etc, Etc. (the weight differences are more than just model decals)
Here is a video of the build of Super Z Hyper Drive

Here is what I'm talking about for much of the weight differences.
Frame for a Raptor SD https://www.hustlerturf.com/file/118791EX.pdf
Frame for a X-One https://www.manualslib.com/manual/74849/Hustler-Automobile-Accessories.html?page=8#manual
Massive difference in weight/strength between frames
