153 Viper, who's got one?

Bkinz said:

If you have a 153 turbo viper I would really like to hear what you have done for suspension and/or if it is very ridable. I'm picking mine up in two weeks, just wanting to what others think of the 153. I've already had a 162 and know how they handle.

Thanks

Buy a 160 pound spring for the front shock in the skid, as both the XTX and MTX come with a 110 pound spring (unless 2016 changed). One of our Vipers is 162 3 inch paddle and our other is 153 2.6 powerclaw and there really isn't enough difference to make a big deal about, unless you compare bottomless powder and then it is likely the 3 inch paddle that really makes the difference.

Good skis is a must as 2014 and 2015 skis were twigs.

do you find the 153 more agile or fun ? I already have a summit xm with a 163, an RX1 turbo 162 and m 1000 162. The xm handles great with 162 flex edge t motion but its light. I want to try a viper with boost it turbo and a 153, possibly T motion it somehow. I think that would be more fun than a midlife crisis.

T motion in the rear was one of the best additions. Amazed at how that changed the package. Makes the 174 turn in like a 153......seriously.
