Snowest posting wet weights of all 3 154-5 class sleds got me thinking what do my sleds weigh ready to actually ride. Mine arent as new but they are what I have to ride. I weighed 4 sleds all full fuel, tool kits, bags etc as I would leave truck with them. Even left spare fuel can on my 1000 mod as it likes fuel. Here goes.
2018 Ascender Alpha 1000 165 562 lbs with 2.5 gallons spare fuel, tools, ropes, etc
2016 M8000 162 lightly modded 545 lbs with tools, ropes, belts for drive and clutch
2013 M800 175 TSS turbo, many changes 577 lbs with tools, ropes, belts for drive and clutch
2012 RMK 600 153 ES, some mods 565 lbs with bags empty, factory tool kit and spare belt, wifes sled.
I was most surprised by the Polaris as I thought it would be under all my Cats, only thing I did do was put stock muffler back on as my wife cant take the noise of the lightweight can after 10 yrs. Thinking of upgrading her to a Catalyst next year. This is not meant to be a bashing or mines better than yours thread. Post up your RTR weights to see what is out there for real world riding.
