You should take it for a spin.

Polaris has that one dialed in good, their best sled of 2016 IMO.

I'm still chasing it a little bit. I wrecked the stock skis last year and this fall put on c+a rzrs and put on the 2" fts from the xcr. Hopefully the last adjustment I made last night gets the balance back.

Stock they are just wicked through the twisties.  Way to soft shock valving on the rear skid though.

You should ride an in season 2016 S and see the difference, they are like two different machines.

It bet there is some steering effort with those C/A skis. I have SLT's on mine and a hygear spring on the FTS. I'm also trying to get the rear skid to be a bit more compliant, the one and only weakness of the machine if I had to pick something but it's soooo much better than the Proride.

You should try the XCR, about perfect imo

I would like to for sure. Have you ridden the LE? I have alot of miles on it and the in season S and the difference in ride and handling is very pronounced. I would not have believed it if not experienced first hand.

We are in Orillia today. Going to Gravenhurst tomorrow for the PET Ride Saturday. Supposed to ride in the Snowcrest Poker Run Sunday but I suspect we will be heading home.

Likely be the end of the season for us.

Hope not, but enjoy the ride.  I bet the temp drops in 6 days.....north riding will be possible

We are going riding Fri morn before all trails get fubared around here

Made it out to Port Perry by 8:30 this morning and there was already someone there that had already left. As we were unloading, another guy pulled in. My son and I (his first ride in 2 yrs) left around 8:45 and headed east. The trails were in  great shape! Made it the Ganny and experienced pretty much the same conditions as last Friday, although slightly rougher in  a few sections.

As we stopped for our first break, about 5-7 sleds in one group went by then another small group. In all honesty,  in all my years riding the Ganny on a Friday, I have never seen the amount of sleds as I seen today! I work 4-10's, with Friday being my day off, but I imagine there was a lot sick calls into people's places of employment today! About 15 or so trucks and trailers when we arrived back to Port. Most Fridays, I am lucky if I see another. 

120 or so Km's, and my first ride with my son in 2yrs, equalled a great day! :thumb:

Awesome Dale! We had a pretty good today other than one sled just dying on the trail.it blew the main fuse and was dead.i jerry rigged the fuse but wouldn't fire so we towed him out. We put on 280kms on pristine trails and had a blast with alot of laughs.
