I'm considering upgrading in the near future. Currently on a '13 Proclimb 800 153 Sno Pro with only roughly 800 miles on it. I know lots of guys didn't care for the '13's but truth be told, the sled outrides the hell outta me. If I decide to upgrade this year, my options are a new '16 Sno Pro or a Limited. About a $1000 difference between the two so I'd essentially be paying a grand for the upgraded bumper (which I would upgrade on the Sno pro if that's the direction I went) and the 3" over the 2.6" track. Is the extra grand worth it? The other option is riding my '13 one more season and getting into an '18 in a years time. Any suggestions?

The track alone is worth the extra grand. Plus u get the tunnel bag, goggle bag, bumper and cool green or all black.

I forgot about the evols. The extra grand in the '16's option is quickly becoming a no brainer.

The 16 evols are much better than the 2014 floats but The early release 18 has better valving in the shocks than the 16le.

After riding an 18 the decision is easier for me. I am on a 16 ltd, its a good sled and works well no complaints. The 18 made me a better rider instantly. I like the sled alot. You may consider the 2017 Mountain Cat, If you do I would try to deal on the primary clutch / belt upgrade from the 18 if its new. There are new 15's for under 8 k available also if its strictly financial, but its more of what you have albeit better. Good luck on your decision
