Well,

With all this good holiday spirt out there.... I've been feeling pretty good this year.

I'd really like to hear, in one or two sentences what you like about your new AXYS-mtn machine.....

PLEASE... NO "debbie-downer" negative comments here....but may be great for another thread.

It can be a feature you like, a quick description of a riding moment... your wrap kit etc.

Photos and videos are a plus.

But... Please keep it short.


Life is GOOD!!!

My new Axys freaking RIPS! I love the new power, love the new 2.6 track and the handling is hard wired to my brain. I have never been on a sled that changed directions so easily, quickly and intuitively!


If you don't have one... GET ONE!

My favorite thing about the AXYS is the throttle response and the light throttle pull. Makes the sled feel so light and playful. Praying for more snow!!

I'm coming off of an edge chassis so it's a big jump in technology for me. Throttle response is amazing. Power is awesome. All you have to do is think about turning and it leans over. Oh....and it's sexy as all get out...

Being 260 lbs. All geared up. I can get up on the snow better and faster then guys 50lbs. Lighter . I can out ride buddies that are on pro chassis, that we were the same level before, I got my axys. Makes me have a lot more confidence having hp, my ridding group can't wait to get there new axys next year.

I like the GPS, the way the hood and panels fit and come off so easy.
I like how everything is already powder coated and painted (except a arms)
Can't comment on the power yet since there is no snow.

I think the 3" track is really cool.

I can't believe how snappy the motor is and how easy it is to pull over on one ski and hold a line. Definitely makes you a better rider.

Love the new 2016 Axys. Have the 163" 2.6 track. The track, power and chassis make this sled jump up on top of the snow. Have ridden it 8 days in Revy so far in very deep snow, it rocks.

……..
130 miles on mine.

Riding some good snow.

Super intuitive handling.

Pretty much the next step in evolution of sleds.

Coming from a highly modified pro that (last year) was a dominant sled in our group of riders and against comparably modded sleds.

(NA stock bore).

Hop on my old sled and it feels like a 600 compared to the new one.

The pro is still fun to ride in the way that a xr200 is fun because its familliar and easy to wring its guts out.

The 163x3 axys with slp pipe and clutching is like swapping to the crf450r.

People will be skeptical on the power. On the Pro (2013) I ran 58 weights. I ran 60's on the Axys in ethanol mode and I hit 8500 RPM's in no time. I'm up to 62's now. This sled pulls more weight and hits hard. Coming off of a turbo on the Pro I likely won't turbo on the Axys!

Today was ride #9 on my sled, 250 miles, all back country riding. Got the suspension and clutching dialed in now. Power is AMAZING, 163x3 track works so much better then the X3 I ran on my pro last year. Snow is just now getting deep enough to really start playing around with it. Side hills awesome and changes directions so easy. Eric

I only have 2.2 miles on my Axys running around the yard so I can't really say much about handling. But my initial thoughts are much better fit and finish, super bright headlight and much snappier then my 14 pro was. I don't think this sled will disappoint.
