I'll ask here because I can find little comment on the Switch Assault as a trail sled.
Considering a '16 if it gets the Axys front end and motor. Would prefer a 1.75 track and would love to see RMK boards on it as well.... Question is, how does it do as a trail sled?
Dec and January are typically trail only. By this time of year we have feet of snow and can spend the whole day riding from one play area to the next. My Axys SwitchBack ProX with gripper skis has been good off trail but I could certainly use more float in some areas.
The SBA is a sweet trail sled in all but the tightest woods trails, I have no problem keeping up with any short track around here. It's not a big bump sled by any means but I have just as much fun trail riding as I do boondocking. The cobra is pretty capable in the deep stuff.
I had my shocks revalved before this season and went to the .375 rear springs which helped in the bumps but stiffer springs cause the sled to trench a little more when starting off in the deep powder. I lost the immediate "pop" up onto the snow but she does get there and it is a worth while compromise to me.
The SBA really is a do everything crossover sled which is important for where and how I ride.
I'm curious as to where your Pro-X fell short off trail? I'm not a huge fan of the no tunnel look which is one of the reasons I ended up on an SBA but the new AXYS sleds are supposed to be sliced bread and with the SBA not moving to the new chassis I may have to look harder at one.
