Engineer and pro rider thoughts
Andy Beavis: Mountain Team Manager and Engineer
Andy helped design the new Alpha One and is a rare combination of hardcore athlete, engineer and out- of-the-box thinker. Oh and let’s not forget nerd (and we mean that in the best possible way).
Andy understood what mountain riders would want and were looking for. A classic case of the right hand knowing exactly what the left hand was doing.
“There needed to be an in-road for those looking to get into mountain sledding and the M6000 fit that niche. This is a great platform for novices. The M6000 comes equipped with electric start, a softer suspension in combination with the engine and gearing, and now the Alpha One under it makes it a great sled for anyone who may be new to mountain sledding or looking for a great first sled to learn on. It has an easier throttle to modulate and a proven engine. And it’s the only 600 to come with a 3-inch lug, giving you the full mountain sled experience in a 600 package.
I am most excited about seeing people’s reaction this winter when they finally get to ride it!”
Todd Tupper: Mountain Team member, racer and suspension expert
Todd is one of only a couple of people who has actually ridden this sled and gave us his expert input:
“My overall impression of the new Alpha M6000 is that it is a very capable lower cc mountain sled that has smooth power and a nice plush, compliant ride.
The Alpha suspension makes it lighter and more maneuverable in deep snow conditions. The way it gets around in deep snow will really impress people!
The differences between the M6000 Alpha and the M8000 Alpha are that the M6000 comes with a less aggressive shock package and electric start. This will appeal to people looking for a fun mountain sled that won’t have you as tired as the bigger sleds would by the end of the day. The M6000 is a great option for those learning to ride a mountain sled.”
