I just put 280 miles on my Lynx this week with a mix of rough trail and hill climbs in very poor conditions. I cant give a full assessment at this time due to snow conditions but I can tell you that this sled rides twice as better than my 23 freeride. it soaks up the biggest moguls like nothing and the front end stays planted like its on rails . others in my group said the same when they tried it. at this point I think the only downfall I will have with it is not being a 165 that I am use to. I cant wait to get it in some deep snow
