Here are some clips from the weekend running one of our Turbo Vipers with water to air kit. This sled hauls the mail at only 10 lbs boost.

Neil, pretty sure you have run (i think you own) all three sleds....Pro rmk, Nytro, and now Viper.

Care to compare all three for us. Assume turbo form on all, weights..., handling...

thanks

Hey Kirk, the Viper is more similar to the Pro then it is to a Nytro. The steering, front suspension, and handling characteristics of the Viper really make it fun to ride. It actually makes you want to ride it on one ski like we do with the Poos.
Having the option to unload a Viper or a Pro out of the trailer every day, I would take the Viper 9 times out of ten.

Can you elaborate for a rookie on why it's 9 out 10 times? Is it the power difference for hill climbing? Handling ability? Reliability?

We know the reliability is better and belts are less than half of the price. I can get more power out of less octane, and you can't even compare the torque.
The deep snow handling is actually better on the Viper, and the power band is much more manageable.
The Viper also rides better than my Pro on the trail, not to mention the engine vibration is non existent with a four stroke.
We ride a lot of icy trails in the spring and the Polaris cooling system is not the greatest.
With the Viper I don't have to add oil every couple days, and my clothes don't smell like two stroke smoke.
The Pro turbo is good at a lot of things, and I really enjoy it....I just prefer the Viper so it gets the miles this season.

Scoots taking a run up the Monster chute in Revy at 9 lbs and smacking the rev limiter with 76 gram weights.
Then getting pushed in the corner under the cornice and somehow pulls it out of his but. Unreal.

Neil: At 9lbs setup like that do you know what your track speed is up hill in unbroken snow? Looks good and that guy was on his game on that one!

Don't need much more proof than that that the new yamis can go sideways as well as up!

Fantastic recovery and looks to be a strong running sled!

We whacked chutes for a couple hours then went and played in trees for the rest of the day.
Scoots was climbing chutes at 7 lbs for a while but thought he needed a bit more for the Monster, so he turned it up to 9 but never added any clutch weight. That is obvious in the vid.
Something about sitting at the bottom of that chute makes you want to turn your boost up.
