Anyone else think they feel heavy when they ride them?
I haven't...the first I've heard. I think people go into them with a prejudment that they won't like them. Either, they can't admit that they are great mountain sleds or they don't know how to ride...also most powerful. I mean it, they don't know how to ride. Think about it, if you are a good riding you should be able to ride anything...I understand people will say I don't want to ride a heavy sled in the mountain because they will be worn-out by days end....and other don't include them in mountain sled talk...also, not to be able to see any good from a 4 strokes sled. So, I find my self riding the trees, in the step and deep, with no problems, and no getting tired or worn out...while others watch...and then I'm told, "WELL YOU HAVE A TURBO". Please. That's why don't value their opinion.[/QUOTE]
Yea, just trying to figure out whether this guy is FOS or if it's a real issue. Like I said, every review I've seen seems to be the opposite. Wondering if this guy even rode one since everyone else seems to have a different impression.
And I know what you mean about people complaining about how heavy the four strokes are. I'm still riding an 03 RX1 without boost and constantly have people telling me how heavy and incapable it is. And when I'm making pulls they can't and riding in the trees, they still tell me how heavy it is...when they have never ridden one. I really don't understand why they care so much about what I ride, but I really do like my RX. Over 8000 miles and never been towed and tons of torque is attractive to me.
I'm in no position to buy a Sidewinder right now, but I'm very curious about how they stand up to the competition. Maybe I will be someday.
