It'll help make for a bigger parts bill when I find myself bottom side topwise! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 11 hours ago, mnstang said: So best gauge in industry, biggest trail two stroke, newest chassis, least weight and most centralized, best handling obviously. That's what we like to call CHECK MATE. Now cue up the jealous crybabies Best? Lol. Cat using an NMEA 2k or equivalent network to interface with a garmin is not the "best". Either way, funny how you state that everyone else must be wrong knocking the new sled since they haven't ridden it but you can declare that it has the best gauge, "biggest" 2 stroke, "newest" chassis, "least" weight and "most" centralized, "best" handling but you've never ridden it either. As for biggest displacement, amusing that is sucks at pumping air compared to Poo's biggest 2 stroke. It is an air pump after all. Newest? What is new about it the others don't have? More like last released and should probably thank the others for paving the way as they had something to copy. Least weight is funny considering projected weights are more than the competition. So least is an interesting choice of words. Most centralized. Bet you can tell this by looking at it. Pot meet kettle. Same with best.

I will go with an ns1 if he offers one for this sled. I paid $ 800 for mine. I could care less what the cost is. I need to be able to read the gauge as I get older.

What the hell is an app anyway? it's nice as far as the screen and the layout, but absolutely nothing I desire to have on my sled or daily driving vehicle... especially once it's out of warranty. seems like just another distraction in an already distracted plugged in world. I go riding to 'unplug'. also as mentioned, I wouldn't want to add another $1k to the price of a sled that's already stupidly expensive for 90 days of use. but that's just me... others will likely love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can realistically, what % of the time you're riding would you estimate your glancing at your gauge? most of the trails I'm on here are tree lined and not a good place to peer at a screen. when I get to an open spot or road crossing I might glance down but that's about it. plus, the scenery far surpasses anything on a screen. the maps make sense for people who have no f'ng idea where they are going which is also not an issue for me as i can do 200 mile rides locally without one... except for that one time with @Not greg b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palu49 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Trail riding with a gps regimented guide is for dorks. Go fuckin riding and glance at a paper map or follow a sign that gets you back towards where you parked the truck like an adult. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll even use the women and kids sled so you can keep up. Don't assume I ride like the Antagonist. Most trails I ride in central Ontario are wide open and some connected through lakes. A good mix of bush included as well. Rarely run at break neck speed so my screen suits me perfectly. But, quite a bit above 50 in most cases And don't you think that would be unfair to challenge me on trails you have likely ridden a life time that I would be seeing for the first time. No, you ride your, what is it a 500, and I'll ride my XCR. I'll give you a big head start and when I catch up I'll take a break and let you get ahead again.

MnDean Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Some of the guys I ride with have the fancy display, some know how to use and some don't, and that is really strange to me , not knowing how to use equipment on your sled. Sometimes it can be entertaining when riding with someone that doesn't understand the new tech. One time we set the bluetooth to a different riders phone,then changed some contact names in that phone. Schedule a couple of text messages so we knew we would be riding when they were sent. He was really confused when his display said "You ride like a pussy" " still riding like a pussy" " turn in your man card" Good times with the new tech. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ride anywhere from 40 to 70 depending on the trail and the conditions and the age of our riders in the group. Have had sleds pass us at trail crossings but not on the trail itself for longer than I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
