Buy 2017 or wait for 2018 to come up

[dwh039]

looking to buy an axys chassis switchback assault. Finding some used 2017's with only 800-1000 miles. Just wondering if there is many changes done to them in 2018. Basically should I jump at a 2017, or wait for a used 2018 to come into the market.

Not much different other than thermostat and head difference. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a low mileage 17. I have a 17 163 LE that my boy now rides and it has almost 2000 trouble free miles on it and it runs hard. It has had an SLP single setup with some clutching since it was new and has been great. Pull the rope and ride every time. 2019 is when the most changes were made with the sealed connectors and such.
