It can be adjusted so you have ski lift to no ski lift. So my take is that they soften the rear shock spring all the way down and then stood all the way back and found snow with a crust and no base then pulled like hell to cat walk... It's all in what and how you want your new Pro to handle.. Imo there is no problem with ski lift with the new Pro it's all in how you adjust it.... And I have had real time on a new Pro last spring...

Let's see, we have threads about the Pro having a poor track that won't hook-up, threads about it having no horse power, threads about no official dyno results.........and now, a thread with a video showing the Pro having too much. What's a sled gotta do????? :tongue::tongue::tongue:

Maybe with that Pro rear bumper there will be no give like the old soft aluminum bumpers on the IQ's, so ya you could see some bent tunnels. As for myself I will put an 2006 900 RMK 159 rear bumper so as I can keep an eye on the bend and change the bumper when it's too bent and save myself buying a tunnel.

Polaris outsourced the carbon rear bumper and its heavy causing the weight to sink the tail.Remove the bumper and you'll see the nose stays down

Ehn you can do that with many sleds on the right snow.....even an M-sled if you strap enough lumber to the back.

I have my Pro RMK and I'll have to ride it to see what I think of the 5.1 on it. I wasn't happy with it on my D8, but from the videos I've seen it seems like it hooks up better on the Pro Ride.
