They will never be as manueverable as something much lighter, lower, and packaged tightly. They didn't use words like mass centralization back then but these old ones I'm into are packed tightly. Even the later zr's were worse, belly panels and hoods and suspension were all spread out much further and that makes a big difference. Under hood items spread out further. Even if similar on a scale, spreading weight out over a bigger area makes a big difference for controlling it. Have you ridden one of these Axys sleds?? Have you seen how packed things are under the hood? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

racinfarmer 6,975 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Worked on a bunch of Phazers and Exciters yesterday, again. Couple dozen Hamm's at the wrong time and I might be owning a Phazer. I have a very poorly thought out idea for it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doug 4,169 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The best precise handling sled I have on SMOOTH flat trails would be my 1994 XCR 600. No way in hell would I want to put a 100+ mile day on that sled compared to the current model sleds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But again, no way I'm doing 100+ miles on one of those, much less the 200 we average on the new stuff. Ride and seating position is just sooooo much better for our old bodies, not to mention when trails get rough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use to ride 200+ miles a day on those old sleds. The newer sleds we hardly ever ride more than 120 miles and stay in one spot now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
