So, I have not spoken to the dealer yet

But what are the details on this Mountain handlebar? Mountain Ski, and Cooler differences on the LE vs. the Sno Pro?

What is different and how do they compare to my 2012 Sno Pro?

Thanks

And improved side panels to better keep snow out.

I think the new track will be a great improvement.

Arctic Cat technical powerpoint presentation on the 2013s. I believe it says the suspension will be mounted in the lower hole in the rear and a new lower hole below the existing hole for the front arm.

It will be interesting to see how this effects the handling and transfer.

Harder rollers in the secondary

And hopefully a primary that doesn't bind like the 2012s

I was set on checking an orange SP, but don't like what they did with adding all the white to the roange for 2013, made it look like a creamsicle. And then I read this about the HCR cooler and all the LE stuff. Then wife saw the white LE, lol. I think we are going to have to go that route. Not sure I really want a sled that blends into the snow, but whatever.
So is this a complete list of differences between SP and SP LE?
Rear bag
Goggle bag
Hand guards
HCR exchanger
Drilled brake
Scratchers

And is this the complete list between the 12 and 13 sleds?
Wider skis
Different headlights
Vented hood panels
Vented side panels
Different snow flap
Harder sec. rollers
Gearing
2.6 track/lower suspension mounting
Pipe tweak
Y-pipe tweak
Better intake seals
38 arms
Tighter steering

Cut and paste/add anything else to get complete lists!
Chris

Ok, this is bothering me. Is it just me, or did they use the same picture/sled for both 153/162 LE models and change the number on the tunnel? THese are both 153 unless I am just very tired!

I would also be very keen to hear if the list posted above by Chris is the correct list of changes from 12 to 13 and SP to SP LE. Thanks in advance!
