I dont really get the point of this, all sleds will get stuck in the steep and deep, and will require work to get out. I've rode about 40+ days in the mountains every year for the past 9 years and very rarely do you every need to lift the front of a sled to get it unstuck (Maybe the odd time in the trees if its suck over a branch or stump, but then you usually need help anyway). The back of these turbos will weigh about the same as the 2 strokes so it should be about the same to get unstuck as a regular sled.
Having been on a t-nytro for the last few years, and riding with lots of other nytro owners, and all my other years of sledding, I am yet to have to lift the front end of a sled....
We are also all ignoring a simple fact of riding....most nasty sticks are because the rider doesn't know to let off prior to losing all traction....if, as a eider out west you don't trench for tea in china, 95+% of all sticks can be solved by a simple tug on a ski or by pulling front end a little to get yourself pointed down a little....
If your trying to highmark and feel yourself slowing...you need to start turning out...
Sadly a lot of the whining about sleds and what not is rider error, and not sled weight of steering posts....they "sound" like good excuses but are nothing more than excuses....
