I'm looking to buy my wife a new sled. She doesn't have much experience. She is 5'2 112lb. She is not a very good or aggressive rider. Any recommendations.
Got my wife a new 18 154 850 as well, and in one day was 10x the rider she was the last two years, mostly due to confidence, she just feels better on a skidoo than our previous set of Axys sleds. I struggled with length and chose the 154 3" thinking it would help prevent getting stuck since she never goes WOT and doesnt ride aggressive enough to get the skis up and doesnt climb much of anything considered steep, but she can if the need arises haha.
Anyway, its been an amazing choice for her and now I am green lighted to get my own new sled! Which after riding her 850 I am looking to get a 165 for myself and sell the Axys.
Curious about previous user mentioning the lower riser, I have thought about this but she says she is ok with how it is, but she doesnt know about tech stuff like this. She is 5'7, so I imagine a lower riser would help? Haven't really found much technical info for proper riser set up for body height...
Get your wife the sled that you want to ride! Then she can't throw down the "my sled aint got enough hp to go up and over into that beautiful untracked bowl". And you have a backup sled... it's a win win.I'm looking to buy my wife a new sled. She doesn't have much experience. She is 5'2 112lb. She is not a very good or aggressive rider.

Don’t do it if you are a mountain rider. If you are a average to better rider she will never catch up. I see more bickering and fighting between couples on the mountain. Seems like it just turns into a huge negative. The learning curve on sleds is so high, strength and fitness are tough for a fit guy. A woman RARELY has the strength and toughness to be a decent mountain rider. Ya i know there are some good women riders. It’s pretty rare. I’d find something she’s good at and do that with her.
I know I’m going to get shelled for this but that’s my opinion backed up but experience.
Now if you like doing fun easy road rides in better weather that’s a different story.
Fok some of the girls I know it be in reverse, what sled to get the boyfriend....
