SnoWest test riders Bruce Kerbs and Justin Stevens join host Ryan Harris to talk about riding the new 2026 Ski-Doo Summit Expert with its new S32 front suspension. We got all the details from Ski-Doo engineers and rode both the 850 and Turbo R 2026 Summit Expert.

I've asked this on Youtube, but maybe it's better to ask this here.

Do the ones who have ridden the 2026 X and X Expert think they will be an easier handling sled for light weight riders? E.g. ladies, like me? From what is said in the vid, it sounds like it would be a great sled for people with less weight and less 'manhandling' power. Also maybe for people who can't really jump (easily) from one 'wrong foot forward' position to the other.
Because of the responsiveness in the neutral position.
All of this sounds awesome to me!

In my humble opinion, the 2026 Expert was the easiest handling sled I have been on in years as for as MANEUVERABILITY goes in tight places.
The sled absolutely TURNS ON A DIME.
