Ive decided Im getting a new sled for next season. Ive ridden doo for 15 years, but am really wanting to try the pro chassis. I ride an 08 xp 146 that ive got alot of time in getting things right. This year I added offset upper a arms to stand the spindle up like the xm and put on some gripper skis and the handling in the trees was far better than before. I really dont know how far I am from xm type handling now, as ive never actually ridden one. My riding style is basically riding through the woods, climbing hills, finding jumps, and getting stuck in the northern michigan backcountry. I keep hearing about the pros sidehilling abillities and predictability and with the snowcheck offers it seems like a good time to possibly try one. One thing im unsure of is rider positioning as I like to be forward on the sled. My uncle whom I do all my riding with rides a 10 assault (iq chassis) and It dosent feel right to me. Just looking for some honest input without the bashing. Unfortunatly my type of riding isnt as popular in my area and its hard to find either of these sleds to try out. Any constructive criticism of either machine would be greatly appreciated.
