I am looking to spring surge a 2016 Viper. I am looking to add a sled to ride in the UP/NW Wisconsin. I have an M8 that I have for deep pow days.

I am on the fence between the two for a few reasons. I can't find any weight specs anywhere on either unit?!?!? I want a 137 for trail use, but I don't want a 1.25" track, to get the 1.6 Cobra you need to move up to a 141 (X-TX).

Any insight?

Thanks!

Last year the mtn sleds were about 50lbs more than the cat 2 strokes. I haven't seen any weights yet either for this year.

And 4 inches longer on the track is only 2 inches on the ground so it isn't that much of a difference over the 137.

141 has worked well for us in the U.P. on and off trail. The Cobra is a tough track too, great for all the stumps and logs hiding under the snow. I certainly would not be shy about the 141 over 137.
