Dang it.... Why am I starting to like this sled.... I have to keep telling myself "no weight loss, no vertical steering, don't sell your Pro" and yet here I am, thinking about selling my Pro....

X2, but for me it's not selling the Pro, rather not buying one.
LOVE the propaganda video...HOPING that I say the same when I try it out...
...remember back in 08, all the other brands were telling us that THEIR sleds felt 20lbs lighter than what they were???

A few comments here:
If its so effortless to ride, why are all these guys huffing and puffing so hard!!? Ha ha.
I still see the sled doing the same things it always has struggle with - turning uphill on its own, and bouncing hard and trying to flatten out when hitting obstacles in a sidehill. Notice it bucking hard 0:11 and turning uphill on its own at 0:38.
Clearly i'm more interested in this sled than i thought i was at first. I keep coming back to check it out. Hmmmm. I'd sure like to ride it though. When is the demo tour?

they should have filmed normal people test riding and left the dealer bs out.jmo.
Isn't the complaint that the front end was too heavy and you have to fight it and usually ends up over correcting? I dont see this happening on the vid. Not sure but I thought I had read that somewhere on Snowest.
Huffing and Puffing
"If its so effortless to ride, why are all these guys huffing and puffing so hard!!?"
I can think of 11,000 or 12,000 reasons!
If it weighed 50 lbs less: It would be a REVolution. As it turns out we have the same weight - incremental positive benefit: yes. As big a step as the first REV? Maybe, maybe not.
Constant improvement is great but weight loss is the game changer.

I can see they still fight the chassis while boondocking. Listen to these guys huff and puff while they talk about how easy it is to ride...really. This sled may make a great point straight up and climb but they didn't fix the problem and this video show just that.

huff and puff comes from the big hp.should try it someday.
Would of liked to see some different color options, less lbs, kayaba pro 40s on summit x and I would be in. Man a drab green freeride, fire the artist who put that one out. I still love my 10 xp 146er ptek, no prob sidehillin that, but would like an etec. Maybe have to get a holdover 12. Really dread the thought of buying a poopoo but they do work as good if not better the the xp. Pretty soon we will have a decision like buying a mx bike they are all pretty equal, props to Polaris and Skidoo for innovating the greatest sled.
Don't blame the sled those guys are out of shape old guys at 9-10k ft. My guess is they huff and puff pitting on there boots. I know I do.
I'm not saying that this sled is God's gift to mountain sledding. It may not be as good as a Pro either but I am starting to beleive it will be alot closer to a Pro than my 2009.

Yah the guys that work for Doo cant say enough!:whip:

I would bet some of those dealers were from places like minnesota too....lots of difference from 1,000ft. to 10,000ft. when it comes to breathing
Lane works for Snowest and Dustin works for SLP both in Idaho Falls so they are used to elevation
F
wow looks impressive cant wait to be on one, i just hope this sled does not take some riders where they should be... we seen sh!t shows like this in the past, take off 30 lbs quick and this will be the nimblest sled out there
you poo guys, is their not something you could be doing to your sled, rather than leaving your nonsense comments here... common mods clean this crap up...
