2015 Timbersled ST vs LT and rider weight

[Dirtbikerider16]

Hey Guys, I'm in the market for a 2015 Timbersled. I'm leaning towards the ST as I'm about 160 lbs, young, and aggressive (my tight woods trail bike/future snow bike is a KTM 525 EXC). I've tried searching for ST vs LT and it seems more people prefer the LT. My questions are these:

1) ST or LT?
2) Weight?
3) Riding style? -tree, deep power, hill climbs, side-hilling, etc.

I have lines on a new ST or a new LT, but I'm always looking for a deal!

Thanks for your input!

I weight 140lbs and I want to go to a 146" from my LT.
I ride in WA, so all of the above for riding style.

04 KTM 525 EXC 2015 TS LT

I ride with n16ht5. I'm 180# without gear.
I like my LT.

That is a great picture.
I like the license plate and skis the best though.

I like your setup, how does the 525 do with the LT?

LT for this guy

I'm a big dude 6'2 250lbs I started with a ST but it wouldn't keep me on the snow without trenching on the deep days, I have a LT now on my 500xcw and couldn't be happier. I say run a short track if you under 180 and go big if your a big guy

I wouldn't go ST unless you ride exclusively hard pack or the total weight of you + bike is under 275 pounds.

I won't be downsizing from my 146 x 2.5" any time soon.

the 525 is a slow revving bike, I would do a long track on it.

I love my lt and I am220 without all the crap.. I think for ut snow it is a must ...

Any one tried a LT on a 250 two stroke? Riding near sea level... And still debating on length.

Works great. No regrets.

What state or area do you ride? Snow type and consistency is a good part of the ST/LT debate.
Feel free to call us at Timbersled. I'm almost your weight and we have both in our fleet here. Happy to help.
