Picked up my new 2010 FX Nytro MTX SE 153 today, man, what a nice looking sled ! I don't see too many mountain sleds around here, so there were a few features that caught me by surprise right away. First off was the
L E N G T H !!! Compared to my 121, it's very long to say the least ! The second was the SKIS, man are they WIDE ! I was considering a set of Slydog Powderhounds, but these skis look real good, I'm gonna give them a good try before I decide. Other things I noticed was the overall width. The dealer set the ski stance as wide as possible using the spacers, however, this made it near impossible to run both my RTX and the MTX beside each other in the trailer. I'm going to put the skis back in the center position and see how that compares. The track lugs are quite tall and firm, but I still think it's the previous Mav track. The lugs were beginning to fold slightly just from the sled being strapped down for the ride home (80 mile trip). I hope I'm wrong and they stay in place, but I'm not betting on it. I'm not a big fan of the tilted back riser, so that needs to go. The front and rear suspension shocks are wayyy softer than my RTX, still not sure what amount of air pressure they are running at now, but I'll more than likely be adding A LOT ! That's about all I can say for now without actually riding the sled. Hoping I get a chance this month, if not, I'm sure I'll be out sometime in Dec as usual. Anyway, I'll post some pics tomorrow, it was a long day, otherwise, they'd be up already.
NOW BRING ON THE SNOW !!!
