Makita offers a more refined design than a lot of its cordless router competitors.

The Makita 18V LXT cordless router is one of three that we rated as having higher power than the rest, and its 30,000 RPM top speed makes edge routing fast.

With the clamp unlocked, the base can slide easily. That makes fine adjustments trickier than other designs where the base holds while you adjust.

The official Makita page (makitatools.com/products/details/XTR01Z) was unreachable via the fetch harness (repeated network/TLS "fetch failed" errors), so identity and specs were verified verbatim across two fetched US retailer listings for the exact model. Master Wholesale (source) shows a full spec table for Manufacturer Part Number XTR01Z / UPC 088381844420 confirming Voltage 18, No Load Speed (rpm) 10,000-30,000, BL Brushless Motor, and an "In the Box" list including both a 1/4" Collet (763637-1) and a 3/8" Collet (763619-3), plus the "variable speed control dial (10,000-30,000 RPM)", "soft start" and "dual L.E.D. lights" descriptors used for the variableSpeed/softStart/ledLight booleans. Tool Nut (corroboration) independently confirms the same model "XTR01Z ... Compact Router, Tool Only" with a Key Specifications block (Voltage 18V, No-Load Speed 10,000-30,000 RPM, Power Source Cordless, Brushless, 1/4 in. collet) and lists the bare-tool price at $219.00. Both pages confirm this is the tool-only bare unit (battery/charger sold separately), matching the exact XTR01Z and not a kit (XTR01T) or other variant; weightLbs is left null because the sole published 4.6 lb figure is stated "with battery" whereas the methodology requires bare-tool weight, and plungeStrokeIn is null because this is a compact/trim router whose plunge/trimmer-base depth capacity comes only from separately-sold bases.
