That lynx does look tempting though - perfect rider position for us tall guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the narrow frame of both and the hard seat on the lynx is my dream seat. if i ride with the jackman crew still the 146 is a no brainer. And it's the only sled that has the track i want. Went away from the XCR over the 136 as the resale value when i took it off is limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northstar rick has a clutched 800 assault with no engine mods that hasn't been beat by any 800 or 850. It's the fastest chassis out there right now. And my assault puts a whooping on cats.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 3, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Pretty sure the 136" XCR's have tipped rails in 2022. That's gonna be a damn fun skid in the twisties. It always surprises me getting off a 137" and on my 121 800 indy how nimble it is by comparison. I'm likely not buying a new sled this year but the red, white and blue xcr 850 would be what I buy if I was in the market.

When I first got my Matryx my nephew was riding my assault and the track came loose and was ratcheting. he didnt know what was going on so I got on it to see. Immediately I knew what it was so we pull over and tighten it up and I rode it for about an hour after that I the whole time I was thinking that I like the assault better LOL. But I have been dialing that sled in for 4 years so i rides great. But then we rode some whack ass ungroomed stuff and the Matryx ate it up like nothing. So I have some dialing in to do on it but it is pretty impressive as far as the suspension goes. And the gauge is on another level. Its pretty amazing.

Does the same thing and Pro xc is uncoupled also. But the pro xc handles a ton better. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
