Every single place i ride from my home has grades, rivers , lakes , paved bike trails, long swamps and pipeline and powerline. There isnt a single ride I take where snow allows that i dont exceed 100. Are you fucking retarded? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 14, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 14, 2019 If the lakes have good snow they are generally too fucking rough for much time above 100. I'd say I spend less than 5% near or above 100 mph. Some rides more...some less. Its getting there quick that's the most fun anyway. Don't really care to meet a deer at 120 mph so I surely limit that as we get into the evening and night riding on the trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake vermillion is miles and miles of groomed lake trail. You could do over 100 for as long as you wanted. I ride a section of grade that's 30 miles and it's like an highway. It's only about 12' wide but I've done over 100 down it for miles. The river we ride has a stretch that's about 22 miles and you could ride that whole stretch over 100 if your sled will do it. There are sections of powerline and pipeline that turn into highways in the winter. I held the 850 over 100 for 5 miles or so multiple times last year down that. Obviously there is tons of riding way below those speeds but it's nice to stretch the legs when you get to the good spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also faster in the 1/4 mile and top speed that both the cat 137 and poo pro s 137. In fact the only sled I lined up against that beat me was droo...

Wife and I rode the RR bed from Minoqua to Mercer last year one morning. Pretty smooth but not perfect and I rode that mostly above 110. Winder felt like it wasn't even working hard. Had it on a 240 setting. Edited August 14, 2019 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love when a sled feels like it belongs at 100 and theres more left when you squeeze it. It's the whole reason I loved the cfr and the zrt and for sure turbo sleds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I've haven't even held it open much past 115 but I can tell you there is a lot left at that speed. Feels like 800's at 80.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 14, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 14, 2019 I'm hoping SLP twins work at Sea Level and have some nice gains. Originally they were going to be individual silencers only but now a 2 into one that seem's pretty quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
