got any footage with hills ?

from what i've seen the pro gets up on the snow really good
that would give it a big head start getting up to speed which might explain the big lead
just curious once they all planed out did the lead stay the same ?

Gosh, and I got all excited when I saw the thread title that I was going to actually get some real info, not just a silly video of a race across a field.

I could care less how it does racing across a field, I don't live in MN, or WI, I want to know how they compare to each other riding in the hills.

Ride a normal running Pro one day in a real life mountain riding scenario. I bet you would be hard pressed to find anyone who wouldn't agree it is not only a really fun sled to ride, but has phenomenal out of the box performance as well. I could care less if I got beat by a 4 wheeler across a frozen lake. If it proves to have some longevity and reliability, it should be the industry standard, period.

how do you compare track length on those sleds anyway? the 163 skidoo has 2608 square inches of track, the polaris 163 has 2445 square inches of track, the 154 skidoo has 2464 square inches, and the 155 polaris has 2325 square inches.

And to further complicate that, track area and foot print are going to be different as wlel.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the Pro, but if you Poo guys think that it will outclimb an 800 E-Tec XP, you're smoking something. It may handle or sidehill better for YOU than an XP, I get that. I have ridden both and I can tell you that a Pro will NOT outclimb an E-Tec.

Oh I'm glad we cleared that up! That will definetly settle this arguement.

Also I have a buddy who drives a Duramax and it is just way better than other buddy's Cummins. So we can put that arguement to bed as well.

Oh and also a Camaro is a way quicker drag car than a Mustang.
