Our Final Words
As we said in the beginning, all the powder sleds are close in performance and ability. There was about three-quarters of a point difference from one to four for both classes.
Ten qualified mountain riders evaluating eight sleds in the snow conditions that dressed out the mountains on January 8. Results would vary as snow conditions change throughout the season. Some variables remain unaffected by conditions, such as seat and fuel tank configuration.
Here's how the final shakedown went from the drivers' score cards…
600 Class: #1 Yamaha Mountain Max 600; #2 Ski-Doo Summit 600; #3 Arctic Cat Powder Special 600 EFI; #4 Polaris 600 RMK.
700 Class: #1 Ski-Doo Summit 700; #2 Yamaha Mountain Max 700; #3 Arctic Cat Powder Special 700; #4 Polaris 700 RMK.
