He put on more mi than anyone I know and rides hard and fast every place . Old snow x guy was in a few of the old slednex videos in the backcontery with chris and the crew etc. He has over 1k on the 650 this seson already . Also has a 850 but says he is grabbing the 650 almost every time he heads out . I for q was sad to see the 700 class go away from the Dimond pounders . Glad to see it back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleds are getting just stupid expensive but so is everything else . Do you really think a 1/2 ton work truck with plastic seats is worth 40g ?

There's a reason this sport involves more and more idiots year after year. Granted, not everyone that can afford one is an idiot, but you understand what I mean...

I'm thinking I am going to come out smelling like a rose. Fuck em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss just bought a Ram 3/4 base for just over 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted January 20, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted January 20, 2021 My buddy bought one for his wife and I took it for a spin, it's got some serious snot for sure. Only thing I don't like is the seat is like a concrete block, every Polaris I've ridden is like that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 20% of humans are pieces of shit in one way or another so it stands to reason 20% of any recreational sport would have the same amount.

Dynotech measured one at 131.7. This particular dyno of the "Shootout" sleds that replaced the cancelled Old Forge had fairly low numbers across the board. Engine seems to be quite "jumpy" when the power valves open. Much more than the the previous 600. The transition is very abrupt.

I replaced my 16 XRS seat with an original XRS/freeride seat because it was so much firmer. My first sled that had a sticky seat material was my 02 Summit. Took a while to get use to and a few years for the other mfg's to catch on. Now when I ride my vintage stuff with slick seats I wonder why they were ever slick. I know they are so different with riding position but I fucking hate the way my ass is all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
