So this morning I got a chance to take a ride on a Switchback 800ho Pro-X. It was a 136" sled but at least I got to see what the new 800ho was all about.

I'm a guy that has been extremely loyal to the Switchback and RMK 900's. I still own them but today after feeling what that new 800ho felt like, I was extremely impressed. It pulled nice in the low, mid and high ranges. After riding this sled I will end up selling my 900 and snowchecking a 2016 Switchback 144.

I have done a lot of things to my 900 Switchback. IndyDan's TM1 crank, slp performance package, fire n ice air intake and a lot of other things to shed some weight but getting on a stock 800ho and have it feeling like one of my 900's tipped the scales for me.

I know the 136 is a whole different animal but hopefully it still feels the same with the longer skid. I know the motor will be nice and once after market catches up with the new AXYS it will be even more fun.

DJ,
U for real snow checking one then? I am for sure. Been selling off extra parts like crazy to pay for it. Can't even dump a sled right now cause the pros are being given away. Lol.
But I'll be in line in a few weeks throwing money at Polaris to bring one my way. Pretty dam stoked

Quido, if you are officially leaving the 900 behind, I want to thank you for all you shared over the years, I had the 900 for 4 years and you help carry me thru some tough times, and helped make it the best sled I,ve owned. But when I went to the 2011 Pro I realized it was time, I,m sure you,ll say the same.

I thank u very much for the kind words!! As of right now i still have (3) 900s in my garage. Hoping to sell 1..the other 2 have too much $ invested so I think I'll be buried with those ones lol. But I do have a feeling they will get neglected often next year lol.
