2012 Pro RMK vs Assault

[Skeld]

This is the kind of stuff I do...any recommendations on which track?

you need the 163

Sounds like 19 pounds difference and 9 of that is the comp track, if you snow check and choose the powder track it looks like only 10 pounds heavier. (read that on one of the assualt rmk threads)

I read somewhere that the a-arms or something was mounted different in the assault. They also mentioned that the mounting holes were there so that it could be mounted like the rmk pro. WHAT I DID NOT UNDERSTAND was if that was the rmk assault or switchback assault they were talking about.

I too am trying to decide on which sled to snow check.

- Seems like lots of people said the 163 rmk pro handled nearly as good in the trees as the 155. Last year had tipped up rails on the 163, will this years handle much different? Prior to reading this I was sold on the 155.

- I go about 275 plus gear, thought the stiffer assault shocks would be better since I have seen many references to the rmk pro shocks being soft. Maybe just a re-valve would be enough or i would maybe have to also get heavier springs?

I rode a 155 for two days trying it out and got stuck seveal times that I am sure I would not have in my 154 doo. I weigh in at 230 plus gear and ride in the powder around McCall, ID. I ordered a 163 today in the PRO.

Haha, ride somewhere different? Or go with the comp track unless you get into some good snow...

A valid point. I ordered today and went with the Comp Track. Hopefully I don't regret it.
