2012 800R E-tech FreeRide 154 question

[Rick E]

I am looking for an extra sled that my adult daughter can use this winter.

I found a 2012 FreeRide 154 with 1,100 miles. Fox shocks in front. All plastic is good. Track looks good. Clean title and current tag. Person selling is the second owner.

I know that this is the second year for BRP's FI on the 800.

I think that $5K or a bit under will grab it.

Is there anything about the 2012 800R E-tech FreeRide 154 that I should be concerned with?



Thanks in advance

Rick E.

There was a bulletin on that engine, you could probably get the vin number and check to see if it was done. They are a very well planted sled, hard to play around on unless you are into jumping. I'd look for a clean Summit personally.. They had a little narrower front suspension.

Thank you. I'm looking at several 800s.

When you say "a little narrower front suspension", are you talking about the 2012 FreeRide, or the Summit model?

The summit is 36 and the freeride is 38.. makes a lot bigger difference than you'd think. if she will be doing a lot of trail riding the freeride the better pick.

I ended up buying it. I looked it over very well, and it appears to be in surprisingly great condition.
However, it is white, and I don't care for white in a sled.
I may paint the side runners black to help take away from the stark white appearance.
