How do you ride YOUR XM?

IDAHO HOT SHOT · Dec 8, 2012

Possible ship jumper here. It may be too early for this question, but I'm curious nonetheless. Who is doing what with their XM? Are you a hill climber, a tree basher of jumper. Currently on a 155 Pro, but love the Doo power. I prefer the trees and big jumps over the open hill climbs. I feel my sled is pretty nimble in the air. How are the Xm's flying? Would a 163 fly ok? I'm leaning towards the 163, but then I've never had a 16" track either.

I have a 154 and sometimes when I start jumping with it I wish I had a shorter track. I don't ever find a time when I am in the trees or hill climbing when I want a longer track. Personal preference. Only reason I see wanting a 163 is if you had a turbo and were hill climbing 80% of the time or were in waist deep powder 65% of the time.

my 2013 163 summit X jumps better than the Pro rmk 155 I had last season. Better shocks. and better chassis for sending it. And it dangles like a mofo in the trees. SO much better than the older xp's. Handles very similar to the pro rmk

Havent had a chance to do much jumping yet but got three rides on my xm 163 and its incredible. handles great on and off trail. The power is awesome. I was on the fence on snochecking the xm or the pro. Had alot of seat time on the Pro last year and really liked it. I like the xm alot more than the Pro now

Find one and ride it, you'll like it s lot. Ride mine in the trees, hill climbing, cornice jumping, and deep deep pow from now till end of February some times march. They are working great so far, for sure more power out of the box compared to the PRO.

Forgot to say I have about 350 miles on mine so far.

Man I can't wait to ride an xm. If they're as easy to throw around like the pro or even better I may snowcheck one next year. But if it's anything like an 11' XP then no way!
