So I got out again today. Snow conditions were much more snow packed but I got to do some more break in on the motor.
I'm really digging the motor! The power is great and no dips in the power band. This sled really pulls hard! I can't imagine how it could be less than 150 hp like so many have said. Another pleasant surprise is that the track seems to hook up much better on the Pro than the IQ. It's early and maybe I'll feel different when we get more snow, but the track doesn't seem to spin in place like it did on the IQ. It hooks up and pulls hard. Mountainhorse is probably laughing at me, but I just might keep the track on if it performs this well all the time. I was able to pull 8150 RPMs but I didn't have very good straight aways on the hard pack. The record feature is really cool!
Now for the bad. Good news is the new shocks are much better than the old WE's on the Dragon. Bad news is that they do not rebound and respond as quickly as I would like. My buddy did Evol R's on his Pro Ride and I was very impressed with how the sled handled. Then I got on mine and realized that the stockers need work/replaced. Options include a Holz WE upgrade, Fox Evol R's or Zbroz XO's (!!!!!). Several might be happy with the fronts. The back is solid so far, but I haven't hill climbed yet.
This sled is absolutely awesome! If you have one, be exicted...very excited.
