11 pro-ride and 12 pro-ride, whats the difference?

[RockinMntKing]

So besides paint schemes what are the differences in the 11 and 12 pro ride sleds. Was wondering if there was any engine differences or suspension changes in rails or torque arms, ect. Planning on buying a pro before next season but really wondering if buyin a 12 will be worth the extra $. That is if i can find a hold over 11.

straight rails on 163.
running board edges have a stronger front mounting tab and are supposed to have more traction or something.
they might have a refined fueling map for the 2012s by the time next year rolls around.

correct....I love my 2011 163 and its slightly tipped rails....I wouldnt want it with straight rails for how I ride.....not to mention the 2012s price went up $200 vs 2011

I agree with liking the tipped rails.
12 is getting Bosche injectors.

and new fuel mapping

 

[rotax]

hmm is it likely the mapping is specific to the new injectors? or will the new map work on 11s?

If there are significant mapping changes for 2012 then I'm sure they will be applied to 2011. However, I haven't seen any issues in my 1,000 miles on my 2011 so I doubt it is significant.
