Usedtoskidoo Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Just gotta say the XRS rides so nicely its ridiculous...………………. I hit a 3-4 foot hole in the trail south of Sprucedale…………..( I may or may not have been going over 50km) but it ate that bump so well. I thought I was a goner. My son said he saw my headlight and taillight at the same time. Best sled I have ever ridden.

My problem is, once I try one I likely won't want to look at mine again, and with the amount of riding I do, I'd have a hard time justifying upgrading.

My SBA was quite stiff even set at virtually full soft. The 900t is a very nice trail sled. Good power and very comfortable. It is not as fun of a sled as the assault was but I guess there is compromise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strictly ride on trail so going after the best riding sled is the most important to me at this point in my life. How is the power/handling of yours? I keep hearing Doo front ends are twitchy, any truth to that, and if so, just how bad is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find the front end twitchy on the 900 at all. You get the odd dart but nothing more than I've had on any other sled. The 900T is definitely an on trail sled. Can't say I've taken it into deep snow yet but I'm sure that'll eventually happen. Power is really good. In sport mode it pulls hard and is quite quick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the track length on the 900T. I wanted shorter than my 137 cat, reason I went with the Indy 129. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usedtoskidoo Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Im sure all the manufacturers high end sled packages are good. I just know this one because I own it. Its friggin hilarious how you can keep speed up and not worry about the stutters or big whoops. 129 is the perfect sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzy Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 This year myself and three other buds we bought NY State passes for a change instead of Quebec passes. Tug Hill is less than an hour and half from us. Heading there for the first time on Thursday and Friday. We heard all the horror stories of the traffic and trails being beaten to hell but hope riding during the week might be different. Has anyone ridden there and can give some insight?
