Theres only so much speed you can carry down those lanes, without worrying about a deer coming from the trees or a washout.

I agree with you about the speed thing, had too many close calls with deer, other riders, other obstacles. my balls have shrank in the last several years. now I'm not a 35 mph type dude, but 80-90 on trails, day or night, are likely over.

X2. I never thought about it, and laughed off more close calls than I can count over the years. Lately, I've become much more risk averse.Good buddy of ours bought a couple 900 ACES for he and his wife. People may laugh but no one waits for him, they go 80-85 mph, fast enough. And get 20 mpg with no oil use. I estimated that two weekends we put on 500 miles in 2-3 days, I spent 250 bucks in gas and oil, just for the sled. Do the math on a 3-4000 mile season, the savings are huge. I don't know how Moes turbo is on fuel, but bet its not too bad if you don't keep the turbos spooled up all the time.

f7ben Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The best way to show us the arm stretch would be to line up against a few other sleds.

We know that stock winders are only a few sled length faster than 800s in 1000' ......so ...there's that I think at 1000 feet there are more than a couple sled lengths (if you can get the turbo to hook up) from what I've seen real world. In the Amsnow shootout the Winders were .35 seconds faster than the quickest 800 in 1000 feet. At 100 mph that's approximately 51 feet. Yeah I know it can't be exactly calculated like that but close considering at 600 feet there was already a .18 sec gap. You are also doing 8-10 mph faster so sled lengths are gaining damn fast at that point. I was surprised how close a stock winder was to my boosted one and I can tell you racing some pretty fast 800's including one of my own with my boosted Winder its like they are standing still. In 1000 feet the gap would easily be 10-15 sled lengths or more. I'd say a stock winder vs 800 is in the 5-10 sled length range at 1000'. Again equal traction which is a challenge on the Turbo. I've raced some fast 800's with my winder set at 270 with my wife on in front of me and its amazing how many sled lengths I put on them in 1000 feet.

It's age, I'm still hurting from a stunt I did a few weeks ago in parking lot, last weekend I took it somewhat easy as my right shoulder was on fire, Sunday morning I felt like a million dollars and I just clamped it for 45 miles running back to the truck, loading up my buds sled I slipped on the trailer and landed on my right elbow hard......MOTHERFUCKER!!!

The turbo vs 800 argument really means shit to me as I prefer a trail weapon over the lake racer. Dan burned his pro S up and has been riding a sidewinder. He's going up to Munising today and is taking an assault instead. Said sidewinder is a terrible trail machine. Said the added weight, especially off trail is not as fun. So theres that...
