154" & 165” Freerides
We consider these two models (with the 36-inch front suspensions) to be a premium Summit model. Yes, they're Freerides, but the differences in 2018 are more marginal than in years past.
You get the narrow 36-inch stance, the same track as the Summit, all the Gen4 features and mountain-specific designs, but with a stronger rail, reinforced running board and higher-end shocks.
The longer Freeride models ride a little stiffer in the mountains, so sidehills and quick line changes are a little tougher because you're not overcoming the uphill shock as easily as the Summits, but if that's a compromise you're willing to make for better bump absorption, this is your sled.
